Meridata 20-50 kHz UHF Chirp yields an ultra sharp layer resolution of just 3 cm in densely varved fine sediments. Penetration of 20 m in sediment is commonly seen in clay deposits. The depth range extends beyond one kilometer.

Meridata 10-20 kHz HF Chirp is a balanced performer positioned between the UHF and LF bands. It combines a layer resolution of better than 10 cm with improved penetration compared to higher frequencies. Simultaneously, depending on configuration, ranges from one to three kilometers can be reached.

Meridata 2-9 kHz LF Chirp offers the best penetration in our line-up of chirps. Layer resolution is better than 20 cm. The LF Chirp transducers are also available in array configurations for extended range operation down to several kilometers depth.

Boomers are seismic reflection profiling equipment that typically operate at frequencies ranging from 0.7 to 2 kHz, and give a good resolution while providing clearly improved sub-bottom penetration in comparison with higher frequency systems.

Meridata has supplied the survey industry with boomers for well over a decade, and can offer a range of systems that meets the needs of surveys at open sea as well as shallow inland waters.

Sparkers are seismic reflection profiling equipment that operate in the 400 to 1200 Hz region. They are well suited for off-the-continental-shelf operations, but they can also be used in shallow coastal waters when sub-bottom penetration requirements can not be met with higher frequency systems.

Meridata offers a variety of sparker-based sub-bottom profiling solutions.

HD SBP interfaces directly to a survey computer running Meridata MDCS survey software. The instrument operates under direct control of MDCS while providing raw data streams for MDCS to log. There is no need for separate control and acquisition software packages as Meridata MDCS does it all.
