Attention:
The 600_kHz transducer is one of the transducers of the Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP).
Please note that operations of the ADCP requires experienced scientific staff on board. The system is not operated by the ship's crew. Announce operations with the ADCP to AWI-Logistics prior to the cruise and clarify the data transfer after the cruise.
Summary
The WorkHorse Mariner is designed to measure real-time current profiles of coastal, inshore, and open ocean water current structures from temporary or permanent mounting in a vessel. It gives fine along-track resolution thanks to RDI’s superior low-noise data, including bottom tracking.
Transducer Frequency
600_kHz
Position
| Origin Description: | The ADCP 600kHz transducer is positioned in Heinckes keel. |
| X: | 42.829 m (Positive X axis is forward and along the centerline of the vessel with X0 at the Stern point of the vessel.) |
| Y: | -0.526 m (Positive Y axis is portside of centerline with Y0 at centerline at the Very stern point of the vessel.) |
| Z: | 0.077 m (Positive Z axis is upwards of basis. Z0 is set to the hydrophone on midship.) |
