Webinar: Motion Correction for Vessel-Mounted ADCPs Using Angular Velocities

This webinar on Vessel-Mounted ADCPs is hosted by Herman Huitema, Business Development Manager VM applications and Jilles Valk, VM Product Manager at Nortek. The webinar explains how angular velocity data can be used to compensate for vessel motion, enabling more reliable current measurements from moving platforms. Learn the principles behind the method, see practical examples, and explore how modern VM-ADCP systems deliver higher-quality data for marine and offshore applications. The format of the webinar is outlined below.

Part 1: The Challenge of Measuring Currents from Moving Vessels

• Introduction and Overview
• Sources of Motion-Induced Errors (1:00)
• Using Angular Velocities for Motion Correction (4:00)

Part 2: Improved Current Measurements
