November 2008

After the very successful launch of the WAVETECTOR Wave Measurement Buoy at this years Oceanology Exhibition, MKS are proud to announce that we will be holding an exclusive WAVETECTOR special event at this years SeaWork Exhibition in Southampton (June 10 - 12). Come and visit us on stand S219!

The WAVETECTOR is a robust, easy to deploy, and low cost 1-dimensional wave height measurement buoy that has a wide range of applications ranging from port and harbour monitoring and warning systems, storm wave monitoring, to real-time oceanographic wave data recorders.

MKS would also like to thank the vast amount of customers and friends, both old and new, who stopped by our stand at OI08 and helped make the show a thoroughly enjoyable and productive occasion.

As always, happy browsing, and please do not hesitate to contact us if you need any more information.

WAVETECTOR 2
A robust, easy to use 1-Dimensional wave/wash measurement buoy. This low-cost, lightweight system can easily be deployed by one person from a launch/tender or equally from a fixed platform such as a pier, jetty or river bank. It plugs directly into the USB port which supplies power to the instrument and returns real-time time data to the computer.

An autonomous version is also in development which can transmit data via radio telemetry.

Hydroacoustic Solutions
Fish and Zooplankton Distribution,
Abundance and Behavior
Determine fish location, distribution,
quantity, size, behavior, and biomass.
Advanced analysis provides details on
individual fish behavior and movement.
Detailed bathymetric data can be read
directly into your GIS application for further
analysis and mapping, combination with
other variables, and reporting.
Submersed Aquatic Vegetation – SAV
Detect and measure SAV density, canopy
height and geographic distribution. Data
can be read into your GIS or other
application for further analysis or mapping.
The system is effective in both freshwater
and marine environments on a number of
physiologically diverse submersed aquatic
plant types. It operates in littoral areas from
the shallows through the entire extent of the
photic zone.
Bottom Classification
BioSonics DT-X Digital Scientific
Echosounder provides the ability to classify
bottom substrates such as rock, sand, or
mud. Data can be easily uploaded into your
GIS or other application for further analysis
or mapping. Used in both freshwater and
marine environments over a wide range of
bottom types
