Details:
The RiverCat picks up where the Mini-ADP leaves off by integrating a set of rugged 27-inch (69-cm) aluminum pontoons into one package that is ideal for towed or tethered applications at flow speeds less than 1.5 m/s. The RiverCat's Mini-ADP features a small, 4" (10cm) diameter transducer head, an integral compass/tilt sensor, external DGPS interface, and replaceable alkaline battery power.
This "Pack and Go" acoustic Doppler current profiler/discharge measurement system weighs less than 25 lbs (12 kg) when assembled, and neatly fits into a portable hard-plastic case with wheels.
Options include
OceanScience trimaran - recommended for higher flow speeds up to 3.0 m/s
Premium FreeWave radio modem (over 2-km range)
Transducer mounting depth sensor (not available in 1.0 MHz systems)
Internal recorder (not available in 1.0 MHz systems)
