Strait of Georgia Central Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler 150 kHz Deployed 2012-02-25

The RDI Workhorse Quartermaster ADCP 150 kHz (SN 8497) was deployed on 2012-02-25 at Strait of Georgia Central. Strait of Georgia Central is a central area in 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2012年2月25日部署于乔治亚海峡中部（Strait of Georgia Central）。该区域为乔治亚海峡的中心地带。声学多普勒流速剖面仪（ADCP）是一类与声呐相似的水声探测仪器，可同时测定多个预设深度处的海流流速与流向。其通过海水颗粒物对声波的散射，利用声波的多普勒效应获取指定深度范围内的海流数据。本次部署的设备搭载于固定式平台。本批次部署产生的数据集已完成归档，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使用；所有数据均遵循既定规范完成质量管控，并生成符合标准的衍生数据产品。
