CURRENT PROFILER
Signature1000
High-performance mean currents and turbulence, wave height and direction
Highlights
- Five beams for mean currents and turbulence
- Wave height and direction
- Very small size and weight
Overview
-
The Signature1000 ADCP is the optimal tool for turbulence measurements. With a maximum sampling frequency of 16 Hz, it gives the scientific community an unprecedented opportunity to study a part of the turbulence spectrum that has never been accessible before. Vertical resolution current profiles of 2 cm over a range of up to 8 m further increase the Signature1000’s versatility, as does its ability to measure wave height and direction. The center beam also functions as a biological echosounder, enabling high-resolution measurements of biomass in the water column.

- 3D profiling using a wire walker
- Surf zone dynamics
- Studies of tidal currents
- Fine-scale mixing studies
- Vessel-mounted coastal surveying
- Directional wave measurements
- Coastal studies
- Suitable for wave buoys
