Aquadopp Profiler - 600 kHz

Up to 40 m current profiling range; easy to operate and deploy

  • Up to 40 m current profiling range
  • Ideal for mean current measurements
  • Easy to operate and deploy

Overview

The Aquadopp Profiler is a highly versatile Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) available in four profiling range options, from < 1 m to > 85 m. The 600 kHz version has a current profiling range of up to 40 m. Designed for simple yet powerful operation, this current profiler is packed with features used by engineers and researchers to enable accurate and effective hydrodynamic data collection in a variety of environmental conditions.
