Upper Slope South Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler 600 kHz Deployed 2012-05-30

The RDI Workhorse Monitor ADCP 600 kHz (9339) was deployed on 2012-05-30 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.

RDI Workhorse Monitor型600千赫兹声学多普勒流速剖面仪（Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler，简称ADCP，编号9339）于2012年5月30日在南上斜坡（Upper Slope South）完成部署。南上斜坡是巴克利峡谷（Barkley Canyon）内的一处测点，该峡谷坐落于大陆架上斜坡区域。本次部署的设备为600千赫兹声学多普勒流速剖面仪，该类仪器属于水声学仪器，工作原理与声呐相似，可同时测量多个预设深度处的水流速度与流向。其利用声波在海水颗粒物上散射产生的多普勒效应，在指定深度范围内获取流速与流向数据。本次部署将设备搭载于固定平台之上，此次采集的数据已完成归档，并通过加拿大海洋网络（Ocean Networks Canada）的Oceans 2.0数字基础设施对外共享，数据的质量控制与衍生数据产品均遵循既定行业规范。
