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 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2012年2月25日部署于乔治亚海峡中部。乔治亚海峡中部为乔治亚海峡的核心区域。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学探测仪器，可同时测量多个预设深度层的海流流速与流向。ADCP利用声波在海水颗粒物散射后产生的多普勒效应，实现指定深度范围内的海流探测。该设备部署于固定式平台之上。本次部署采集的数据集已完成归档，并通过加拿大海洋网络（Ocean Networks Canada）的Oceans 3.0数字基础设施对外开放；其数据质量保障与衍生数据产品均遵循行业既定规范。
