Cape Bonavista Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler 2 MHz Deployed 2017-06-21

The Nortek Aquadopp Profiler AQP 3910 was deployed on 2017-06-21 at Cape Bonavista. Cape Bonavista is a headland located on the east coast of the island of Newfoundland. It is located at the northeastern tip of the Bonavista Peninsula, which separates Trinity Bay to the south from Bonavista Bay to the north. 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 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.
