Our technology is used in oceanography and subsea navigation
Nortek’s advanced Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers (ADCPs) and Doppler Velocity Logs (DVLs) use the Doppler effect to measure motion in the marine environment. ADCPs are used to measure oceanographic processes as seen in currents and waves, while DVLs help subsea vehicles to navigate underwater.
Our six focus areas
We provide solutions for oceanographic and subsea navigation applications
Marine science and research
Oceanographers, marine scientists and government researchers require innovative oceanographic equipment that gives them data they can trust.
Marine operations
Our instruments contribute to the safe and efficient maintenance and operations of offshore infrastructure, including monitoring and site selection.
Renewable energy
The successful transition to green energy requires safe and reliable implementation of offshore wind and tidal turbines.
Marine autonomy
DVLs provide crucial information to ROV operators and enable subsea and surface vehicles in GPS-denied environments to navigate reliably underwater.
Coastal engineering
Comprehensive knowledge of the sea state near coastal communities informs coastal protection measures and safe coastal operations.
Marine resources
Informed management of fisheries, ocean ecosystems, kelp farms and more contributes to sustainable human development.
People trust Nortek for high performance through quality, innovation and support.
We provide truly innovative, robust and accurate instruments, backed up by advanced software and comprehensive support. This ensures our customers gain valuable data from their measurements.
