Argonaut-SL
Side-Looking

A 2D side-looking version of the Argonaut intended for side-looking current or flow measurement operations from bridge piers or pilings. It measures remotely, avoiding flow interference from the structure. Can be used to calculate flow/discharge in rivers. Both close-range and long-range systems are available. A third, vertical beam is standard for level measurements. An optional external LCD data display (right) is also available. Argonaut-SL Details

Argonaut-SW
Shallow Water

Ideal for monitoring flows in small channels from 1 to 16 ft (0.3-5 m) deep, the Argonaut-SW offers advanced Doppler performance for sites previously thought impossible to measure. Typically mounted on the bottom of a channel, stream, or pipe, the SW measures water level and vertically-integrated velocity, making it ideal for sites with reversing or stratified flow conditions. An optional external LCD data display (right) is also available. Argonaut-SW Details

Current Profiler

A 3D low-profile version of the Argonaut with adjustable sampling volume size and location. The integrated pressure sensor allows a bottom-mounted Argonaut-XR to automatically adjust the position of the sampling volume with changing tide level or river stage. Argonaut-XR Details

Mooring Deployments

Three-axis oceanographic current meter. A fully autonomous, single-point current meter for long-term deployments on moorings. CTD options available. Argonaut-MD Details

Argonaut-ADV

Argonaut-ADV

Providing robust velocity measurements in a compact, easy-to-use package, the Argonaut-ADV is the ultimate instrument for shallow water flow monitoring. Ideal for low-flow applications in shallow streams, marshes, lakes, or water treatment facilities, the Argonaut-ADV's advanced Doppler technology measures single-point velocities away from flow obstructions. All signal processing is done internally allowing the Argonaut-ADV to be readily integrated with a wide range of additional sensors. Argonaut-ADV Details
