Upper Slope South Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler 600 kHz Deployed 2013-05-11

The RDI Workhorse Monitor ADCP 600 kHz (9339) was deployed on 2013-05-11 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.

编号为9339的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）于2013年5月11日在南上坡站位（Upper Slope South）完成布放。南上坡站位隶属于地处大陆架上斜坡的巴克利峡谷（Barkley Canyon）。该设备搭载于固定平台开展观测作业。声学多普勒流速剖面仪（ADCP）属于水声探测仪器，其工作原理与声呐相似，可同时在多个预设深度层面同步测量海流的流速与流向。该设备通过声波在海水悬浮颗粒上散射产生的多普勒效应，实现指定深度范围内的海流参数探测。本次布放任务产生的观测数据已完成归档，并通过加拿大海洋网络（Ocean Networks Canada）的Oceans 2.0数字基础设施对外公开共享，其质量管控流程与衍生数据产品均遵循行业既定操作规范。
