CCGS Vector Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler 150 kHz Deployed 2017-10-30

The RDI Workhorse Quartermaster ADCP 150 kHz (SN 8580) was deployed on 2017-10-30 on CCGS Vector. The Canadian Coast Guard Ship (CCGS) Vector is owned and operated by the Canadian Coast Guard. 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 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.

序列号为SN 8580的RDI Workhorse Quartermaster型150 kHz声学多普勒流速剖面仪（Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler，ADCP）于2017年10月30日搭载于CCGS Vector号船开展部署作业。CCGS为Canadian Coast Guard Ship（加拿大海岸警卫队船艇）的缩写，该船由加拿大海岸警卫队所有并运营。声学多普勒流速剖面仪（ADCP）是一类与声呐原理相近的水声探测仪器，可同时测量多个预设深度处的海流流速与流向。ADCP通过利用海水内颗粒物散射声波的多普勒效应，实现指定深度范围内的海流参数探测。本次部署搭载于移动观测平台之上。本次部署获取的相关数据已完成归档，并通过加拿大海洋网络（Ocean Networks Canada）的Oceans 2.0数字基础设施对外共享；所有数据均遵循既定规范完成质量管控，并生成了配套的衍生数据产品。
