2D Horizontal Profiler - 400 kHz
Up to 100 M Horizontal Profiling Range; Ideal for Side-Wall Applications
The 2D Horizontal Profiler is the ideal tool for current measurements from a physical structure in, for example, port entrances. This ADCP provides the two horizontal flow components at multiple distances from the mounting and is commonly used in online applications where immediate access to current data is critical.
