Capable of measuring
water motion at a "single point" almost anywhere in the oceans, this 3-D,
vector-averaging current meter is small, light, and inexpensive. The MD’s
low-power electronics and high-capacity alkaline battery pack are perfect
for long-term mooring deployments. Its high-sensitivity transducers improve
performance in environments that have exceptionally low scattering conditions. With
standard temperature and optional pressure and conductivity sensors, the MD
is a full-featured system. Ideal for filling holes in profiles that
ADP/ADCPs miss. |
