  • Discharge
  • Environmental
  • Flow
  • Ship berthing
  • Tide level

Argonaut-MD
Moored 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-MD Applications
  • Coastal
  • Moorings
  • Open ocean

Argonaut-SL
Side-Looking

While typically used for hydrology applications, the Argonaut-SL can also be used in vessel traffic management systems in ports/harbors and also in specialized oceanographic studies. Easily installed on a bridge abutment or other vertical structure, the Argonaut-SL provides precise, 2D water velocity measurements in a horizontal layer. Because it measures remotely, the SL can avoid flow disturbances caused by the mounting structure. The SL supports the SDI-12 protocol, so it is easily interfaced to existing instrument arrays, or it can simultaneously record to its internal memory. The SL also supports current profiling and direct flow output in open channels. Options include a vertical beam for stage measurement and water quality instrumentation. Argonaut SL details

• Argonaut-SL Applications
  • Offshore platforms
  • Ship berthing
  • Vessel traffic management
  • Discharge
  • Environmental
  • Estuaries
