Product Overview
Since 1997 Teledyne RD Instruments has been providing ADCPs that have proven in the field they can profile beyond 1000 m from research vessels traveling at speeds >15 knots and from offshore oil and gas platforms during exploration work.
That same technology has now allowed the Ocean Observer III 38 kHz ADCP to be created. The field-proven 38 kHz phased array ADCP transducer is combined with field-proven electronics into a single package that is capable of profiling >1000m. This design makes it ideal to be mounted from an oil platform, over the side of a vessel, and in surface buoys.
