Building the 3D-T mooring construction
The available facilities and enthusiasm of scientists and technicians at NIOZ produces a very creative atmosphere. In close collaboration with electro-technicians, especially Martin Laan, software-engineer Frank van Maarsseveen and fine-mechanics engineers Johan van Heerwaarden and Roel Bakker the so-called NIOZ high-resolution temperature sensors have been developed. These high-tech thermometers have a precision of 0.01mK. Together with many NIOZ-sea-technicians led by Lorendz Boom they were also involved in the development of new mooring techniques like thin-line moorings, self-unrolling moorings and foldable 3D moorings.

Additional information
The 3D-T mooring construction has been build for the study of three-dimensional development of breaking underwater waves and turbulence and effects on the distribution of substances in the deep sea. This study is financed by the Dutch Research Council (NWO) within the framework of the large-scale infrastructure European project KM3NeT.
