Description
Go straight to work collecting highly accurate stream and river discharge data with the RiverRay ADCP (Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler). This economical turnkey system comes complete with: the RiverRay ADCP, a custom-designed boat, user-friendly software, and convenient wireless
communication—everything you need to begin making precision river discharge measurements.
With over thirty years experience delivering acoustic Doppler products, Teledyne RDI’s RiverRay is the culmination of years of technology advances and invaluable customer feedback.
From a shallow stream to a raging river, the revolutionary RiverRay delivers the simplicity and reliability your operations require, at a price that won’t break your budget.
Product Features:
- Ease of use: Easy to carry, easy to deploy, and easy to operate; just power and go.
- Intelligent: Automatic adaptive sampling based on flow conditions continuously optimizes your discharge measurement from bank to bank, thus ensuring the highest quality data without your intervention.
- Flat transducer: The sleek phased array transducer design provides reduced size, weight, and flow disturbance.
- Versatile: A single instrument can deliver high quality data in environments ranging from a 0.4 m stream to a 60 m deep river.
- Superior surface measurements: Interwoven independent and short range measurements improve the discharge computation in your critical surface layer.
- Platform stability: RiverRay’s float boasts reduced drag, causes less flow disturbance, and provides superior handling— even in high water velocities and rough surface.
- No cables required: Data is wirelessly transmitted to your shore station via BluetoothTM technology.
- DGPS compatible: Integrate an external DGPS for difficult conditions, such as moving beds.
