definition | The Nortek Aquadopp 6000 is a single-depth doppler current meter designed for deployment on deep water moorings, although it is also suitable for attachment to fixed structures. It features higher power and an increased signal-to-noise ratio compared with the standard (300 m depth rated) Aquadopp so that it can provide accurate current measurements in water with low concentrations of suspended particulate matter. Current velocity is derived from the Doppler shift measured by two or three 2MHz acoustic beams. It comes with compass, tilt, pressure and temperature sensors. It has a titanium casing rated to 6000 m and data are stored on an internal logger. It can be run in diagnostic mode when set to collect data at 1 Hz frequency in user specified intervals, which allows studies of mooring motion and the performance of other current meters to be conducted. | ||||||
