Spotter matches ADCP current measurements in 24-day field comparison
A commissioned field study validated Spotter subsurface-current measurements against an acoustic Doppler current profiler.
Evidence notes
- Across a 24-day field comparison, Spotter observations of current speed and direction were nearly identical to the ADCP reference.
- The tested system combined a Spotter buoy, Smart Mooring and integrated Aanderaa 4830 ZPulse Doppler Current Sensor.
- Sofar reported that the lighter system was easier to deploy and recover and provided simpler access to collected data.
