Aperçu

Need to collect accurate 3D currents very near the seabed or sea surface, in addition to a full water-column profile?

The Z-Cell (Zero Cell) Aquadopp allows current measurement to start right at the instrument’s level through an innovative approach: it has side-looking beams fully integrated into the instrument’s head, effectively removing the blanking distance normally applicable to ADCPs.

Points forts

Up to 40 m current profiling range
Capable of measuring surface or bottom currents
Ideal for mean current measurements

Applications

Mounted on bottom frames, with ability to also measure near-bed currents
Mean flow measurements with high focus on ease of use and simplicity
Measurements in flow regimes with strong variations in flow speeds
Studies of tidal currents
Measurements of combinations of waves and currents
Mounted on surface buoys, with the ability to also measure surface currents
