Upper Slope South Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler 600 kHz Deployed 2016-06-16

The RDI Workhorse Monitor ADCP 600 kHz (9339) was deployed on 2016-06-16 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，ADCP）（编号9339）于2016年6月16日部署于南上坡海域（Upper Slope South）。南上坡海域地处巴克利峡谷（Barkley Canyon）范围内，而巴克利峡谷位于大陆坡上段。该设备为600千赫兹级声学多普勒流速剖面仪。声学多普勒流速剖面仪（ADCP）是一类与声呐原理相似的水声探测仪器，可同时在多个预设深度层面测量海流的流速与流向。ADCP借助声波在海水中悬浮粒子上散射产生的多普勒效应，在指定深度区间内开展观测。本次部署采用固定式平台搭载。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）旗下的Oceans 2.0数字基础设施对外开放共享，所有数据均遵循既定行业规范完成质量保证流程，并生成了配套衍生数据产品。
