The system rapidly can achieve an accurate and reliable high quality real time current profile from near surface to ~3500m.
A typical skid mounted system consists of a lifting boom (or other suitable LARS) and winch for over the side deployment, a deployment frame and a downward looking low-frequency ADCP. An upwards looking high-frequency ADCP can also be incorporated into the system if required.
The deployment frame is equipped with steering fins to ensure that the system remains stable, and can be equipped with additional instrumentation to maximise the information obtained from each deployment.
