Bridging the Subsea Data Gap - Field Results from the SWIS ADCP Edition Deployment

As ocean observation needs evolve, the challenge remains: how to retrieve high-fidelity seabed data without the high costs of cabled or physical recovery?

At Oceanology International 2026, Subnero’s Amy Gibson will be presenting results from a recent field study, titled Toward Autonomous Ocean Observation: Field Results from a SWIS-ADCP Deployment.

The study details a deployment at a buoy station near Pulau Ubin, Singapore. The team evaluated the Subnero Wireless Integrated Suite (SWIS) - ADCP Edition integrated with a Nortek Aquadopp Profiler to test both user-triggered and autonomous periodic data acquisition from the seabed-deployed ADCP.

Why SWIS - ADCP Edition?

The field results highlight the advantages of SWIS - ADCP Edition for environmental monitoring deployments. The key points covered include:

• Autonomous Operation: Capable of autonomous periodic data acquisition.
• On-Demand Retrieval: Enables user-triggered acoustic retrieval of sensor data.
• Seamless Integration: Proven integration with industry-standard sensors like the Nortek Aquadopp Profiler.
