Description
Teledyne RD Instruments’ WORKHORSE MARINER Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) has become the instrument of choice for researchers and commercial surveyors working in coastal waters. The Mariner is an accurate, rapid sampling current profiling system designed to operate from a moving boat. The Mariner offers all of the benefits of RDI’s traditional Workhorse ADCP products in a compact package designed specifically for coastal hull-mount applications. The unit is easily integrated into the vessel’s DGPS input to provide integrated ADCP readings with precise position information.
Product Features:
• Convenience: By installing the Mariner directly in the vessel’s hull, the ADCP is always ready to operate—no need for cumbersome mounting tools and hardware, and the unit is safely protected from external elements.
• Precision data: Teledyne RDI’s BroadBand signal processing delivers very low-noise data, resulting in unparalleled fine track resolution.
• A four-beam solution: Teledyne RDI’s 4-beam design improves data reliability by providing a redundant data source in the case of a blocked or damaged beam; improves data quality by delivering an independent measure known as error velocity; and improves data accuracy by reducing variance in your data.
