Aquadopp Profiler Z-Cell 2 - 1 MHz
Up to 25 m current profiling range and no blanking; can measure near-surface or near-bottom currents
Need to collect accurate 3D currents very near the seabed or sea surface, in addition to a full water-column profile?

Rud, NO
Description
The Z-Cell (Zero Cell) Aquadopp Profiler allows current measurement to start right at the instrument’s level through an innovative approach: it has side-looking beams fully integrated into the instrument’s head, effectively removing the blanking distance normally applicable to ADCPs.
