Upper Slope South Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler 600 kHz Deployed 2013-05-11

The RDI Workhorse Monitor ADCP 600 kHz (9339) was deployed on 2013-05-11 at Upper Slope South. Upper Slope South is a location within Barkley Canyon, which is located on the upper continental slope. 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 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.

编号9339的RDI Workhorse Monitor型600 kHz声学多普勒流速剖面仪于2013年5月11日在南上坡站位（Upper Slope South）布放。南上坡站位为巴克利峡谷（Barkley Canyon）内的一处调查站位，而巴克利峡谷坐落于上大陆坡区域。该设备为600 kHz级声学多普勒流速剖面仪（Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler，以下简称ADCP），ADCP是一类与声呐原理相似的水声仪器，可同时对多个预设深度层的海流流速与流向进行测量。其通过海水中的颗粒物散射声波，利用声波的多普勒效应获取探测范围内的海流数据。该设备布设于固定式平台之上。本次布放获取的观测数据已完成归档，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，数据的质量保证与衍生数据产品制作均遵循既定行业规范。
