ADCP WHS 150Khz
Teledyne RD Instruments’ WORKHORSE QUARTERMASTER Acoustic
Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) has been designed to fill the
gap between Teledyne RDI’s higher frequency 300 kHz Workhorse
units and the 75 kHz Long Ranger. The Quartermaster is
ideally suited for current profile measurements that may require
up to 300m range. The unit provides an unsurpassed combination
of range, resolution, and versatility, thanks to Teledyne RDI’s
Broadband technology.
The highly flexible Workhorse Quartermaster is available in two
product configurations: self-contained (Sentinel), and directreading
(Monitor). The Quartermaster is ideally suited for:
• Ocean observatories
• Shelf-edge profiling
• Upper ocean dynamics
Third-party solutions
Collect data at your desk: the Quartermaster can operate in realtime
or stored-data mode. Third-party products are available for
delivery of data via an acoustic modem and radio data transfer
direct to your desktop
