OSIL Utilise Sontek ADCP for Deepwater Currents
Deepwater currents are notoriously difficult to measure, the problems of working at depth, moorings, frame design, deployment and recovery all need to be taken into consideration for a successful deployment and recovery. This becomes even more demanding when working in the vicinity of an offshore platform.
OSIL (Ocean Scientific International Limited) have designed a cost effective system for these testing deployments using the SonTek’s Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler and surrounding it with their own deployment frame. The SonTek ADCP (Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler) is a high-performance, 3-axis, water current profiler that is accurate, reliable, and easy to use. The ADCP uses state-of-the-art transducers and electronics designed to reduce side-lobe interference problems that plague other current profilers.
