The SeaGuardII DCP Wave is a 600kHz Doppler Current Profiler able to measure directional wave parameters and currents from a bottom mounted installation.
Benefits of the product Aanderaa SEAGUARD® II DCP Wave:
- Simple solution to measure waves, currents and water quality in one instrument
- Independent measurement of waves and currents.
- Field validated data-comparison with MOTUS buoy, Datawell Waverider and pressure based non directional wave sensor
- Measures wave from centimeters to 20m
- 2Hz or 4Hz wave sampling
- Processing of up to three columns in parallel, provides flexible setup with both surface referred and bottom referred cells.
- Adaptive pulse technology automatically optimizes wave measurement accuracy. The transmission pulse is automatically adapted to the current sea conditions to provide best measurement achievable; a low noise broadband mode is used for smaller waves, an extended range broadband mode used for medium range waves and a narrowband mode is applied for higher waves.
