Acoustic Doppler Current Profile (ADCP) hydroacoustic current meter data is similar to a sonar, attempting to measure water current velocities over a depth range using the Doppler effect of sound waves scattered back from particles within the water column. The term ADCP is a generic term for all acoustic current …
This dataset comprises raw ocean current data collected from the SmartBay buoy moored in Cork Harbour. The Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) measures the speed and direction of ocean currents.
