GEBCO: discoverer and year of discovery (en): Discoverer: Japanese survey vessel "Takuyo". Year of discovery: 1998. History: Named after Mr. Hiroshi Iwamiya (1928-2015), a Japanese oceanographer/technician working for the company Tsurumi-Seiki (Yokohama), established in 1928 by his farther (who made Japanese-made mariner's compass for the first time). Based on his experience onboard R/V Spencer F. Baird (Scripps Institution of Oceanography, USA), equipped with oceanographic instruments, during a Trans-Pacifc Expedition in 1953, he decided in the 1960's to develop XBT (Expendable Bathy Thermograph) with an agreement for technical cooperation with the US company Sippican. In 1999, he invented the XCTD (Expendable Conductivity Temperature Depth Profiler), obtaining international patent. Subsequently, Tsurumi's XBT and XCTD have been used widely worldwide, contributing to ocean sciences as well as to other marine activities. In addition, the company has developed a variety of oceanographic sensors, such as the current direction and velocity meter, installed on the submersible Shinaki 6500. |
