For over thirty years, Teledyne RD Instruments has been the
preeminent supplier of Acoustic Doppler Current Profiling
(ADCP) instrumentation for open ocean applications. Teledyne
RDI’s vessel-mounted OCEAN SURVEYOR family of ADCPs are
the only instruments capable of collecting detailed maps of
the distribution of water currents and suspended materials
through the water column and along the ship’s path—at depths
and resolutions previously considered unattainable. In real time,
the ADCP is also used to aid in situ decision-making, to adapt field
operations, and to understand current regime characteristics.
