R/V Thomas G. Thompson Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler 75 kHz Deployed 2011-07-01

The RDI Ocean Surveyor ADCP 75 kHz (SN 1007) was deployed on 2011-07-01 on R/V Thomas G. Thompson. The Research Vessel Thomas G. Thompson is owned by the Office of Naval Research (ONR) and operated by the School of Oceanography at the University of Washington. This device is a Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler 75 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 2.0 digital infrastructure, with quality assurance and derived data products following established practices.
