The new electronic hardware is combined with up to date PC processing and Windows operation. The EK60 provides facilities for accurate echo sounding, data storage, data analysis and reporting results. The system communication is through Ethernet, which gives flexibility in the location of the EK60 system units and allows easy access to data from other instruments or stations on a vessel network. A post processing software, BI60, is also included in the EK60 system. R21601_EK60 completed NOAA Ship Oregon II (R332) Oregon II The NOAA Ship Oregon II conducts fishery and living marine resource studies in support of the research of the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), Pascagoula Laboratory in Pascagoula, Mississippi. The ship collects fish and crustacean specimens using trawls and benthic longlines and fish larvae and eggs, and plankton using plankton nets and surface and midwater larval nets. The Oregon II normally operates in the Gulf of Mexico, the Atlantic Ocean, and the Caribbean Sea. The vessel is operated by NOAA's Office of Marine and Aviation Operations. http://www.moc.noaa.gov/Ships%20Characteristics/NOAA%20Ship%20Oregon%202%20-%20Final%2030JAN2014.pdf DOC/NOAA/OMAO/MOC-A > Marine Operations Center - Atlantic, NOAA Marine Operations, NOAA Office of Marine and Aviation Operations, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce 757-441-6495 NOAA/OMAO/MOC-A 439 West York Street Norfolk VA 23510-1145 USA David.A.Score@noaa.gov http://www.moc.noaa.gov/MOC-A/index.html Marine Operations Center - Atlantic NOAA Marine Operations Center-Atlantic (MOC-A) serves as a homeport for one NOAA survey ship and provides administrative, engineering, maintenance and logistical support to NOAA's Atlantic fleet. information pointOfContact NOAA NMFS Southeast Fisheries Science Center 305-361-4200 75 Virginia Beach Dr. Miami FL 33149 USA pointOfContact Simrad EK60 Echosounder EK60 Simrad - Kongsberg Maritime AS +47 3303 4000 (Norway) +47 3304 2987 (Norway) P.O.

It has a rugged, corrosion-proof, 10,500 meter (34,400 ft) titanium pressure housing. Real-time temperature data is transmitted in ASCII characters (ÿ°C or raw counts) via an RS-232 or optional RS-485 serial interface for display or logging by PC or data logger.

Data is simultaneously stored in memory and transmitted to a computer serial port, allowing independent data logging and real-time data acquisition. Typically mounted near the ship's seawater intake, the SBE 21 is connected to an AC-powered interface box positioned near the computer. The interface box provides power and an isolated data interface, and contains a NMEA 0183 port for appending navigation information to the data stream.
