Strait of Georgia East Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler 150 kHz Deployed 2017-06-24

The RDI Workhorse Quartermaster ADCP 150 kHz (SN 8497) was deployed on 2017-06-24 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 2.0 digital infrastructure, with quality assurance and derived data products following established practices.

RDI Workhorse Quartermaster型150 kHz ADCP（序列号SN 8497）于2017年6月24日部署于乔治亚海峡东区（Strait of Georgia East）。乔治亚海峡东区即乔治亚海峡东部海域。该设备为150 kHz声学多普勒流速剖面仪。声学多普勒流速剖面仪（Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler，ADCP）是一类类似声呐的水声仪器，可同时测定多个预设深度处的海流流速与流向。ADCP依托声波的多普勒效应开展观测，此类声波在指定深度范围内被海水中的颗粒物散射。本次部署搭载于固定式平台。此次部署获取的数据已完成归档，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；所有数据均遵循既定规范开展质量管控，并衍生了配套的数据产品。
