Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers (ADCP) measure the speed and direction of water currents using sound waves. In this video, Paul Devine, Subject Matter Expert, Teledyne RD Instruments, talks about deployment and testing of ADCPs, the acoustic data they provide, and data quality indicators.
Like an expert investigator, he dissects the data, and shows how we can identify when the ocean “skips a beat". He talks about fundamental concepts like Error, Correlation, and Echo. For anyone interested in better oceanographic data, this video is a must-watch.
