Strait of Georgia East Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler 150 kHz Deployed 2009-09-28

The RDI Workhorse Quartermaster ADCP 150 kHz (SN 8497) was deployed on 2009-09-28 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 3.0 digital infrastructure, with quality assurance and derived data products following established practices.

RDI Workhorse Quartermaster型150kHz声学多普勒流速剖面仪（Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler，ADCP，序列号SN 8497）于2009年9月28日部署于乔治亚海峡东区（Strait of Georgia East）。乔治亚海峡东区指乔治亚海峡的东部海域。该设备为150kHz声学多普勒流速剖面仪。声学多普勒流速剖面仪（ADCP）是一类类似声呐的水声仪器，可同时在多个预设深度处测量水流的速度与流向。此类仪器依托海水颗粒对声波的散射所产生的多普勒效应，在指定深度范围内开展流速与流向观测。本次部署的设备搭载于固定平台之上，本次部署获取的数据已完成存档，并通过加拿大海洋网络（Ocean Networks Canada）的Oceans 3.0数字基础设施对外公开，且按照既定规范完成了质量保障流程与衍生数据产品的生成。
