Circulation Current Applications

Instruments

Examples

• ADP - Acoustic Doppler Profiler

• Poverty Bay - Describes how a bottom-tracking ADP on a small vessel was used in New Zealand to collect complex circulation currents near a sewage outfall.

• Argonaut-MD (Mooring Deployment)

• Stingray Generator Farm -  Describes how an Argonaut-MD is being used to measure tidal currents to accurately correlate water current velocity with the effects of tidal loading on a full-scale tidal generator near the Shetland Isles.

• Argonaut-based sonar

• Lagrangian Float - Describes how an Argonaut-based sonar is being used in a scientific research project to study circulation and mixing in the upper ocean and coastal waters.
