Acoustic Based Wave
The acoustic based wave instrument, SeaGuardII DCP Wave, the swiss army knife of ADCPs with the possibility to measure Ocean Waves, Ocean Currents, Tide and Water quality all from one single instrument.
The acoustic based wave SeaGuardII DCP Wave, the swiss army knife of ADCPs with the possibility to measure Ocean Waves, Ocean Currents, Tide and Water quality all from one single instrument. For wave measurements the adcp uses an adaptive pulse technology that automatically switches between 3 different acoustic modes (2 broadband and 1 narrowband mode) to give optimize the wave measurement accuracy.
The optimal solution to measure acoustic based directional waves, currents and water quality in one instrument
- Real-time or self-recording with on-board processing of current and wave parameters from a bottom installation
- Independent measurement of waves and currents with flexible set-up
- A wide range of parameters available using Aanderaa plug and play smart sensors
- Easy integration of third-party sensors
- Adaptive pulse technology optimizing wave measurement accuracy
Innovative technology to ensure accurate low noise wave measurement
