Description

Thanks to innovative data diagnostic features for challenging environments, the Aquadopp 6000m provides exceptionally high-quality 3D currents in a form factor that is easy to install in any type of mooring line configuration, or simply attached to a bottom or surface platform. Raw magnetometer data can be stored for post calibration of compass when used without the inductive modem option.

The 6000 m Aquadopp now offers 6% broadband measurements and “hibernation mode” between measurements, enabling precise data collection with lower power consumption. The upgraded Aquadopp 2 design also offers increased internal battery storage, extending potential deployment duration.
