[Acoustics] ADCP with wave measurement

[Marinna A Martini]

Hi Neil,

The Nortek Aquadopp can do a PUV style measurement.
Which means you have to be careful about sampling and don't put it too 
deep.
Are you sure the AWAC does only 0.4 m bins?  I was under the impression it 
was much like the RDI for setting bins, but it cannot interleave sampling 
like the RDI.

Cheers,
Marinna

[Acoustics] ADCP with wave measurement







Any thoughts on autonomous upward-looking profilers with directional wave 
capability? Here is what I know so far: 

Sontek Argonaut XR can do waves with no direction 
Sontek Argonaut ADP can do directional waves (but we'd like to do without 
the monstrous battery case) 
RDI Workhorse has an upgradeable waves option 
Nortek has the AWAC, but it samples in 0.4-m bins only 

Any help is greatly appreciated...
