Here are some examples of how SonTek/YSI acoustic Doppler instruments can be used
to collect water velocity measurement data for port and harbor applications.
Port / Harbor Applications
Instruments |
Examples |
- ADP - Acoustic Doppler Profiler
|
- Bosphorus Straits VTMIS - SonTek
ADPs and Argonaut-SLs are integrated with Endeco systems on real-time data
collection platforms (buoys) as part of a Vessel Traffic Management
Information System.
- SonTek ADPs are deployed at the Golden Gate Bridge, the Richmond Wharf, and the
Benicia Bridge as part of the Physical Oceanographic Real-Time system (PORTS) currently
installed in the San Francisco Bay area. Please check the web site of the San Francisco Marine Exchange for a
description of PORTS, and to view some real-time data from the SonTek ADPs at these sites:
