Profiling Current Meter

The SeaGuard DCP (Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler) measures currents and can be extended with wave direction, oxygen, conductivity, turbidity, temperature, and serial sensors.

It features innovative development of the acoustic profiling capacity and an exceptional ability to collect high quality current information on moving and tilting moorings.

Available as a self-recording current meter, it also integrates unique real time features to meet your application needs.

The SeaGuardII is a smart data hub that combines the SeaGuard electronics with the advanced management firmware of the Aanderaa SmartGuard data hub.

SeaGuardII DCP is a 600kHz frequency profiler with multi-sensor capability for acoustic doppler profiling. By design, we offer increased deployment time, optimized configuration flexibility and unique features to cope with demanding upper ocean environments.

Optional parameters are available using the Aanderaa range of smart sensors that include temperature, pressure, conductivity, oxygen, wave, tide and turbidity. In addition the SeaGuardII has 4 analog inputs, 2 serial ports with power control and direct connection for real time data transmission output.

Tide Sensor

The Aanderaa Tide sensors are compact fully integrated sensor for measuring the tide conditions.

Ocean Currents

Ocean water currents are driven by winds, tides and density differences. The ocean circulation regulates the earth's climate by transporting heat. The flowing water affects offshore and coastal construction and also carries particles, animals, plants, nutrients, pollutants and dissolved gases. The acoustic doppler technique has become the preferred technology for most users measuring ocean current, because it is robust, needs no calibrations, can be used for both point (RCM) and profiling (Acoustic Doppler Current Profiling) measurements and is basically insensitive to fouling.

Water Quality

Aquatic environments are constantly changing. Regardless if you model effects of climate change on a global scale, operate an aquaculture facility, study the impact of human activities in the coastal zone, spreading of pollution, ecosystem changes or are involved in coastal or off-shore constructions measurements of relevant parameters are fundamental to understand ongoing changes and risks and make it possible to calibrate and verify mathematical models.
