Recently, two fairly large orders came in that reinforced this impression. The combination of the DW Aquadopp’s ability to be deployed for very long unattended periods of time, with the well-documented performance of these instruments in low-scattering environments, has convinced the demanding users of deep-water instrumentation to go for the DW Aquadopp. No publisher ketil-horn Press releases 2008-06-27T11:18:30Z News Item http://www.nortek-as.com/news/european-user-symposium Nortek is pleased to announce that the European User symposium will take place in France, on the Mediterranean coast near Nice, on October 8-10, 2008. The symposium will be built on the same format that we have used in the US, where a mixture of user presentations, technical training and technical demonstrations have proven to be good mix.
