MARINE ACQUISITION BY THE 10 CHANNELS SYSCAL PRO

RESISTIVITY-METER
SALT WATER ENVIRONMENT
13 graphite floating nodes (A B P1... P11) - 4 meters spaced
GPS input on the Syscal Pro for an accurate location of the profile
Array type: Reciprocal Wenner array (AB at the center and MN apart from AB)
Data acquisition speed: 10 resitivity data points each 2 s (minimum time required by GPS)
Boat speed during acquisition: 3-4 km/h
About 3000 data points acquired in the section below
Vab 50 V - Iab 2.5 A Grounding resistance 20 Ohm
Water resistivity given by a conductivity-meter: 0.20 Ohm.m good correlation with the resistivity
computed with the first reception dipole)
Water layer thickness: between 1 and 3 meters
