(a) Schematic of the pre-prototype nodule collector Patania II, with the mounted LISST-RTSSV at the rear of the vehicle at 5m above the seabed, the locations of the nine Seapoint Turbidity Meters type S (STM-S) are also illustrated, with four STM-S at the rear of the vehicle in the vicinity of the LISST-RTSSV, and five STM-S on a front-mounted pole at heights of 1 m, 1.6 m, 2 m, 2.5 m and 3.2 m above the seabed. (b) Photo of the LISST-RTSSV mounted at the rear of the GSR pre-prototype nodule collector vehicle, Patania II.
