Strait of Georgia East Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler 150 kHz Deployed 2011-05-10

The RDI Workhorse Quartermaster ADCP 150 kHz (SN 8580) was deployed on 2011-05-10 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150kHz声学多普勒海流剖面仪（Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler，ADCP，序列号SN 8580）于2011年5月10日部署于乔治亚海峡东部区域。乔治亚海峡东部特指乔治亚海峡的东部片区。该设备为150kHz声学多普勒海流剖面仪。声学多普勒海流剖面仪（ADCP）是一类水声学仪器，工作原理与声呐相似。ADCP可同时在多个预设深度处测量海流的流速与流向，其利用声波在海水颗粒物散射后产生的多普勒效应，在设定的深度范围内开展观测。本次部署将该设备搭载于固定平台之上。此次部署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数字基础设施对外提供服务，相关数据的质量保证及衍生数据产品均遵循行业既定规范流程。
