The instrument is a high frequency acoustic backscatter sensor capable of high resolution profiling of suspended sediment concentrations and sizes \u00a0with up to 4 frequency channels, and features built-in temperature and pressure sensors. It is planned to be deployed on a mobile rig in a field campaign to be carried out at Cavallino beach and Lido Inlet, Venice, Italy, in Autumn 2014. The instrument will likely be tested in maiden laboratory experiments at the newly built Fast Flow Facility of HR Wallingford Ltd.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1048\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1048\" style=\"width: 537px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.soton.ac.uk\/ggblog\/files\/2014\/06\/aquatec.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1048\" alt=\"aquatec Aquascat 1000R\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.soton.ac.uk\/ggblog\/files\/2014\/06\/aquatec.png\" width=\"537\" height=\"317\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.soton.ac.uk\/ggblog\/files\/2014\/06\/aquatec.png 537w, https:\/\/blog.soton.ac.uk\/ggblog\/files\/2014\/06\/aquatec-300x177.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 537px) 100vw, 537px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1048\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">aquatec Aquascat 1000R (Courtesy of Aquatec Group)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>G&amp;G phd student Hachem Kassem has recently accepted an \u00a0award for the AQUAscat\u00a01000R acoustic suspended profiler;\u00a0the first prize at the\u00a0Aquatec Equipment Awards 2014 for his research on\u00a0vertical turbulence structures in the benthic boundary layer.\u00a0The award comprises a 3 month instrument loan and a travel grant, to deploy the instrument in an upcoming field campaign.
