Instruments

Acoustic Doppler Velocimeter

Supplied Name: ADV

Supplied Description:

Vertical water velocity measurements were collected from the surface to the bottom at 30 cm intervals from the MBL dock using an Acoustic Doppler Velocimeter (ADV; Nortek vector)

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Acoustic Doppler Velocimeter

Acronym: ADV

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L05/current/384/

Generic Description:

ADV is the acronym for acoustic doppler velocimeter. The ADV is a remote-sensing, three-dimensional velocity sensor. Its operation is based on the Doppler shift effect. The sensor can be deployed either as a moored instrument or attached to a still structure near the seabed.
