Ocean Observer III
Teledyne Marine RD Instruments (RDI)
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.
