GEMS new subsidiary for the monitoring of the ocean and the marine atmosphere, by state of the art instruments including Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers (ADCP's), and Tracking Drifters  for applications in the marine environment both in Australia and overseas ...

Instruments

In 1998 GEMS bought their first ADCP, primarily for the purposes of ocean model validation. Since the expansion of the capabilities of ADCP's to measure waves and turbidity GEMS has acquired 3 more RDI ADCPs and has expanded it's' activities to full metocean activities.

To increase it's ability to map and understand ocean currents, GEMS has developed a series of ocean drifters. These drifters report position and time, either by wireless technology to a base station or via satellite to a dedicated website. The satellite drifters provide the capability to map ocean currents from periods of days to several months.
