Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP)

Northumbria University has procured an Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) to support the Drivers of Oceanic Change in the Amundsen Sea (DeCAdeS) project. This specialized oceanographic equipment is critical for the continuous, long-duration, and high-precision mapping of continuous, high-resolution vertical current velocity profiles across the wider water column beneath and around ice shelves in extreme environments. The instrument ensures the gathering and high-reliability retrieval of vital, column-wide hyd...
