Title Ocean Surveyor Vessel Mount ADCP
Attachment


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.
