Strait of Georgia East Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler 150 kHz Deployed 2009-09-28

The RDI Workhorse Quartermaster ADCP 150 kHz (SN 8497) was deployed on 2009-09-28 at Strait of Georgia East. Strait of Georgia East refers to an eastern area of the Strait of Georgia. This device is a Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler 150 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 fixed 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.

RDI Workhorse Quartermaster型150 kHz声学多普勒流速剖面仪（Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler，ADCP，序列号SN 8497）于2009年9月28日在乔治亚海峡东区布放。乔治亚海峡东区指乔治亚海峡的东部海域。该设备为150 kHz声学多普勒流速剖面仪，声学多普勒流速剖面仪是一类与声呐类似的水声仪器，可同时测量多个预设深度处的水流流速与流向。ADCP利用声波在指定深度范围内被海水中颗粒物散射后的多普勒效应获取相关数据。本次布放搭载于固定平台，此次布放获取的数据已完成归档，并通过加拿大海洋网络（Ocean Networks Canada）的Oceans 2.0数字基础设施对外开放共享；所有数据均遵循既定规范完成质量保证，并生成了符合标准的衍生数据产品。
