About PFPE
The Potential Fields Pool Equipment (PFPE) supports permanently installed gravimeter equipment on all University National Oceanographic Laboratory System (UNOLS) academic research fleet (ARF) vessels.
PFPE originated over two decades ago in response to an identified need for the UNOLS community to have a centralized repository for shipboard gravimeter systems’ technical support, and to reduce the overall gravimeter operational and support costs to the federal funding agencies.
