Upper Slope South Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler 2 MHz Deployed 2012-05-30

The Nortek Aquadopp HR-Profiler 2 MHz ASP2699 AQD2973 was deployed on 2012-05-30 at Upper Slope South. Upper Slope South is a location within Barkley Canyon, which is located on the upper continental slope. This device is a Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler 2 MHz. Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers 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 fixed 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.

Nortek Aquadopp HR-Profiler 2 MHz ASP2699 AQD2973设备于2012年5月30日部署在南上坡区（Upper Slope South）。南上坡区位于巴克利峡谷（Barkley Canyon）内，而巴克利峡谷则地处大陆上坡区域。该设备是一台2 MHz的声学多普勒流速剖面仪（Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler）。声学多普勒流速剖面仪属于水声仪器，与声呐类似。ADCP能够同时测量多个预设深度处的海流速度和方向，其原理是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。该设备部署在一个固定平台上。此次部署产生的数据已被存档，并通过加拿大海洋网络（Ocean Networks Canada）的Oceans 3.0数字基础设施开放获取，其质量保证及衍生数据产品均遵循既定规范。
