Expansion of ADCP Fleet

Procurement of additional RDI ADCP`S Sentinal MKii into existing infrastructure. 2x new 600khz , 2x new 300khz to improve the accuracy, efficiency and range of hydrodynamic data collection in support of multiple ocean circulation projects. Used for a detailed picture of currents and known to be reliable in their operation.

The majority of our deployed ADCP infrastructure, both vessel-based and moored, is based on RDI systems. This has led to significant investment over time in support infrastructure, data acquisition systems, software compatibility, and internal expertise, all optimised around RDI platforms. Several projects next year require ADCPs in which an aging & limited stock is a risk to fulfilling the cruise program.
