Nortek launched the Marin buoy and Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) system at Oceans 2026 in Monterey. This new system will offer users real-time, motion-corrected current profiles as well as wave parameters, temperature, salinity, and other supporting data.

For more than 30 years, Nortek has been a trusted manufacturer of ADCPs. Now, Nortek is introducing its new complete end-to-end system for real-time current profiling, combining a surface buoy, ADCP, and software for live data viewing.

The Marin buoy will include a built-in Marin ADCP, which offers current profiles up to a 20 m range. The dynamic nature of a surface buoy requires motion correction to gather quality current profiles. Nortek’s OceanIQ smart QA/QC edge processing capabilities onboard the buoy perform motion correction adjustments and automatically filter data for quality control, ensuring only quality data are transmitted via satellite.

A global meta-omic survey expanded the non-redundant genomic catalogue of Aoguangviridae from 59 to 227 genomes and revealed extensive taxonomic diversity, broad oceanic distribution and transcriptional activity. The family comprises viruses associated with Poseidoniales, abundant marine archaea involved in oceanic organic-matter processing.

The study shows herring stock itself did shrink markedly in the 16th century, but it did not collapse completely. It was only the combined effect of several factors – environmental change, overfishing, and social change—that brought the profitable fishery to a sudden end.
