Conception Bay Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler 400 kHz Deployed 2025-11-04

The Nortek AWAC AST 400 kHz WAV 7749 was deployed on 2025-11-04 at Conception Bay. Conception Bay is located west of the city St. John's, Newfoundland. This device is a Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler 400 kHz. 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.
