AQUADOPP

CURRENT METER

Aquadopp 300 m

Highly versatile single-point current meter with optional PUV wave measurements

Highlights

Single-point current meter

Perfect for mooring lines

PUV-based directional wave measurements

Overview

The Aquadopp 300 m is a compact, accurate and affordable single-point current meter for applications where a current profile is not needed. Designed for use in a number of deployment scenarios from mooring lines to bottom-mounted structures, it comes with PUV-based directional wave measurement capability as standard, making it the best value in the industry.

Raw magnetometer data can be stored for post calibration of compass when used without the inductive modem option.

Applications

Attached to mooring lines

In conjunction with riser monitoring systems

Measurements of unaffected currents from physical structures

Shallow-water wave and current measurements

Alternative to mechanical current meters with errors due to fouling

Near-surface current measurements from surface buoys

Studies of tidal currents

Suitable for wave buoys

CURRENT PROFILER

Aquadopp Profiler 2 MHz

Small and compact, short-range current profiling; option for PUV wave measurements

Highlights

Up to 10 m current profiling range

Optional right-angle head

PUV-based directional wave measurements

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. 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.

Applications

Near-bed current profiles with fine vertical resolution

Mean flow measurements with high focus on ease of use and simplicity

Measurements in flow regimes with strong variations in flow speeds

Projects with needs for both high-resolution and normal-range current measurements

Measurements of combinations of waves and currents

Studies of deep-water currents

Studies of tidal currents

Mounted on surface buoys

Suitable for wave buoys

CURRENT PROFILER

Aquadopp Profiler 1 MHz

Small and compact, with up to 25 m current profiling range; option for PUV wave measurements

Highlights

Up to 25 m current profiling range

Optional right-angle head

CURRENT PROFILER

Aquadopp Z-Cell 1 MHz

Up to 25 m current profiling range and no blanking; can measure near-surface or near-bottom currents

Highlights

Up to 25 m current profiling range

Capable of measuring surface or bottom currents

PUV-based directional wave measurements

Overview

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.

Applications

Mounted on bottom frames, with ability to measure also 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

Projects with needs for both high-resolution and normal-range current measurements

Studies of tidal currents

Measurements of combinations of waves and currents

Mounted on surface buoys, with the ability to measure also surface currents
