CCGS Vector Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler 150 kHz Deployed 2017-10-30

The RDI Workhorse Quartermaster ADCP 150 kHz (SN 8580) was deployed on 2017-10-30 on CCGS Vector. The Canadian Coast Guard Ship (CCGS) Vector is owned and operated by the Canadian Coast Guard. This device is a Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler 150 kHz. Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers (ADCP) are hydroacoustic instruments, similar to sonars. ADCPs measure current speed and direction at multiple predetermined depths simultaneously. ADCPs use the Doppler effect of sound waves that are scattered by particles in seawater over a depth range. It was deployed on a mobile platform. Data from this deployment were archived and made available through Ocean Networks Canada's Oceans 3.0 digital infrastructure, with quality assurance and derived data products following established practices.

RDI Workhorse Quartermaster 150 kHz声学多普勒流速剖面仪（ADCP，序列号8580）于2017年10月30日部署在加拿大海岸警卫队Vector号（CCGS Vector）上。加拿大海岸警卫队Vector号（CCGS Vector）为加拿大海岸警卫队所有并运营。该设备为150 kHz声学多普勒流速剖面仪（ADCP）。声学多普勒流速剖面仪（ADCP）是一种水声仪器，与声呐类似。ADCP可同时测量多个预设深度处的海流速度和方向。ADCP利用声波在一定深度范围内被海水中颗粒散射产生的多普勒效应进行测量。该设备部署于移动平台上。此次部署产生的数据已归档，并通过加拿大海洋网络（Ocean Networks Canada）的Oceans 3.0数字基础设施对外提供，其质量保证和衍生数据产品均遵循既定规范。
