Strait of Georgia Central Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler 150 kHz Deployed 2016-05-03

The RDI Workhorse Quartermaster ADCP 150 kHz (SN 8580) was deployed on 2016-05-03 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150千赫兹声学多普勒流速剖面仪（Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler, ADCP，序列号SN 8580）于2016年5月3日部署于乔治亚海峡中部（Strait of Georgia Central）。该区域为乔治亚海峡的中心地带。本设备为150 kHz声学多普勒流速剖面仪（ADCP）。声学多普勒流速剖面仪（ADCP）是一类与声呐原理相似的水声仪器，可同时获取多个预设深度处的水流流速与流向数据。该类仪器借助声波在海水颗粒物上散射产生的多普勒效应，在指定深度范围内开展流速流向测量。本次部署搭载于固定平台之上，本次任务获取的相关数据已完成归档，并通过加拿大海洋网络（Ocean Networks Canada）的Oceans 3.0数字基础设施对外公开，所有数据均遵循既定行业规范完成质量管控并生成衍生数据产品。
