Features and benefits

  • ALTUS allows to study mudflats or beach level varitations according to tidal currents and swell.
    The high frequency acoustic data logger is equipped with a 2MHz transducer located on a light frame at a given distance from the seabed. ALTUS can be used as a tidegauge thanks to its accurate pressure sensor.

    • Examples of use

  • Monitoring of erosion or sediment deposits in coastal waters, estuaries, ports and rivers
  • Evaluation of the sediment volumes to dredge
  • Mathematic models validation
  • Millimetric measurements of the elevation changes of the seabed

    • Accessories

  • Fast wireless configuration and data collection thanks to a communication interface (Inductive Data Pencil) connected to the USB port of a PC using Winmemo software.
