Attention:
The 150_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 Ocean Surveyor/Ocean Observer is designed for current profile measurement in the upper ocean water from depths less than 100 meters. The system consists of a transducer and electronics chassis. Data are transmitted in either an ASCII or binary format through the I/O cable.

Position
| Origin Description: | xyz-position of the 150kHz transducer from Alignment Survey Report RV Heincke (January 2016) |
| X: | 45.022 m (Positive X axis is forward and along the centerline of the vessel with X0 at the Stern point of the vessel. ) |
| Y: | -0.233 m (Positive Y axis is portside of centerline with Y0 at centerline at the Very stern point of the vessel. ) |
| Z: | -0.088 m (Positive Z axis is upwards of basis. Z0 is set to the hydrophone on midship.) |
