| Summary: | The Nortek Aquadopp Profiler AQD8603 was deployed on 2018-07-09 at Notre Dame Bay. Notre Dame Bay is located on the northeastern end of Newfoundland. To the south, it adjoins the Bay of Exploits. This device is a Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler 2 MHz. Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers are hydroacoustic instruments, similar to sonars. ADCPs measure current speed and direction at multiple predetermined depths simultaneously. ADCPs use the Doppler effect of sound waves that are scattered by particles in seawater over a depth range. It was deployed on a mobile platform. Data from this deployment were archived and made available through Ocean Networks Canada's Oceans 2.0 digital infrastructure, with quality assurance and derived data products following established practices. |
