Ocean Surveyor
Teledyne Marine RD Instruments
For decades, Teledyne RD Instruments has been the preeminent supplier of Acoustic Doppler Current Profiling (ADCP) instrumentation for open ocean applications. Teledyne RDI’s vessel-mounted Ocean Surveyor family of ADCPs continues to raise the bar, collecting detailed maps of the distribution of water currents and suspended materials through the water column and along the ship’s path - at depths and resolutions previously considered unattainable. In real time, the ADCP is also used to aid in situ decision-making, to adapt field operations, and to understand current regime characteristics.

High Speed Riverboat
Teledyne Marine RD Instruments
For the best data quality in the most challenging measurement conditions, the High-Speed Riverboat is the new benchmark for acoustic Doppler current profiling for discharge measurements. The advanced hull design allows the boat to slice through standing waves and still maintain instrument position and data collection. Fast flowing water, sometimes problematic with conventional tethered boat designs, can be handled with relative ease with the High-Speed Riverboat. Made of high impact UV resistant ABS, the High-Speed Riverboat is strong and robust to cope with the worst deployment conditions.

Ocean Observer III
Teledyne Marine RD Instruments
Since 1997 Teledyne RD Instruments has been providing ADCPs that have proven in the field they can profile beyond 1000 m from research vessels traveling at speeds >15 knots and from offshore oil and gas platforms during exploration work. That same technology has now allowed us to create the Ocean Observer III 38 kHz ADCP. We have combined our field-proven 38 kHz phased array ADCP transducer with our field-proven electronics into a single package that is capable of profiling >1000m. This design makes it ideal to be mounted from an oil platform, over the side of a vessel, and in surface buoys.
