St. John's Bay Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler 600 kHz Deployed 2023-12-05

The Nortek Aquadopp Profiler AQD 8323 was deployed on 2023-12-05 at St. John's Bay. St. John's Bay is located slightly east of the city St. John's, Newfoundland. This device is a Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler 600 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.
