Description of Product / Service:

1.0 Background/Introduction:

The Oceanography Department (OC) at the naval Postgraduate School (NPS) requires an Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) which is used for measuring ocean currents, waves, and turbulence and a Single Point Current Meter used for measuring ocean currents.

This particular ADCP model allows for concurrent measurements with a sampling frequency of up to 16 Hz. It will be used by researchers and students of the OC department in student thesis research of http://www.sam.gov/ turbulent kinetic energy, nearshore wave processes, nearshore current processes, and surf zone dynamics.

The Single Point Current Meter will also be used in student thesis research and in research carried out by various professors in the department.

2.0 Minimal Technical Requirements/Salient Characteristics:
