Acoustic Doppler Profiler (ADP) Overview
Standard ADPs
Mini-ADP & Electronics
|
The SonTek/YSI ADP (Acoustic Doppler Profiler) is a high-performance,
3-axis (3D)
water current profiler that is accurate, reliable, and easy to use. The ADP uses
state-of-the-art transducers and electronics designed to reduce side-lobe interference
problems that plague other current profilers. This allows the ADP to make the very
near-boundary (surface or bottom) current measurements critical to shallow water applications.
The 1.5 and 3.0-MHz profilers are available as Mini-ADPs that have a
smaller and more compact transducer head. The makes the instrument
easier to mount and transport. |
Features: |
- 0.25, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, and 3.0-MHz models
- Profiling ranges up to 220 m
- Side-looking configurations for horizontal profiling
- Four-beam systems for special applications
- Bottom Tracking & GPS
input for moving boat applications
- Specialized CurrentSurveyor and RiverSurveyor systems available
- All ADP software is compatible with Windows Vista/XP/2K.
- ViewADP software for post-processing
- Directional wave measurement
capabilities: SonWave-Pro software allows custom plots for surface, polar,
mesh, time-series, and spectral displays:
