Teledyne RD Instruments’ WORKHORSE MARINER Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) has become the instrument of choice for researchers and commercial surveyors working in coastal waters. The Mariner is an accurate, rapid sampling current profiling system designed to operate from a moving boat. The Mariner offers all of the benefits of RDI’s traditional Workhorse ADCP products in a compact package designed specifically for coastal hull-mount applications. The unit is easily integrated into the vessel’s DGPS input to provide integrated ADCP readings with precise position information.
