AWAC
ACOUSTIC WAVE AND CURRENT PROFILER
AWAC - 1 MHz
Real-time current profiles and directional waves for shallow water
Highlights
Real-time current profiles to 30 m range
Real-time directional waves to 35 m range
Acoustic surface tracking (AST) with vertical beam
Can be used both with fixed frames and subsurface buoys
Overview
The AWAC 1 MHz ADCP has become the standard reference technology in submerged wave-measurement applications. Thousands of these ADCPs have been deployed to capture the full wave spectrum in combination with current profiles. With a 35 m maximum range for wave measurements and 4 Hz sampling of the surface elevation, the AWAC 1 MHz is the optimal tool for shallow current and wave measurements.
Applications
Online measurements of currents and waves
Design data for planning of new coastal structures
Site studies for offshore wind platforms
Coastal erosion studies
Measurement campaigns where the full wave spectrum is needed
Monitoring of transient waves for channel wall protection
Studies of tidal currents
ACOUSTIC WAVE AND CURRENT PROFILER
AWAC - 600 kHz
Real-time current profiles and directional waves for intermediate water
Highlights
Real-time current profiles and waves to 50 m range
Acoustic surface tracking (AST) with vertical beam
Can be used both with fixed frames and subsurface buoys
Overview
The AWAC 600 kHz ADCP has become the standard reference technology in submerged wave-measurement applications. Thousands of these ADCPs have been deployed to capture the full wave spectrum in combination with current profiles. With a 60 m maximum range for wave measurements and 2 Hz sampling of the surface elevation, the AWAC 600 kHz is the optimal tool for medium water-depth current and wave measurements.
Applications
Online measurements of currents and waves
Design data for planning of new coastal structures
Site studies for offshore wind platforms
Coastal erosion studies
Measurement campaigns where the full wave spectrum is needed
Monitoring of transient waves for channel wall protection
Studies of tidal currents
ACOUSTIC WAVE AND CURRENT PROFILER
AWAC - 400 kHz
Real-time current profiles and directional waves with up to 100 m range
Highlights
Real-time current profiles and waves to 100 m range
Acoustic surface tracking (AST) with vertical beam
Can be used both with fixed frames and subsurface buoys
Overview
The AWAC 400 kHz ADCP has become the standard reference technology in submerged wave-measurement applications. Thousands of these ADCPs have been deployed to capture the full wave spectrum, in combination with current profiles. With a 100 m maximum range for wave measurements and 1.5 Hz sampling of the surface elevation, the AWAC 400 kHz is the optimal tool for deeper-water current and wave measurements.
Applications

Design data for planning of new coastal structures
Site studies for offshore wind platforms
Coastal erosion studies
Measurement campaigns where the full wave spectrum is needed
Monitoring of transient waves for channel wall protection
Studies of tidal currents
