A device known as an ADCP, or acoustic Doppler current profiler, measures the direction and speed of currents throughout the water column using sound waves. Knowing how ocean water moves can help us better understand the ocean's physical, chemical, and biological characteristics.
The ADCP makes use of the Doppler effect by sending out "pings" of sound in the form of a series of steady, quick pulses that bounce off objects floating in moving water and return to the instrument. Whereas particles going away from the sensor produce a lower-frequency return, particles travelling towards it produce a higher-frequency return.
The difference in frequency between the sound waves the profiler sends out and the sound waves it receives can be used to determine how fast the particle and the water around it are moving because the particles move at the same pace as the water that carries them.
The system keeps account of when each ping is sent and received; as longer-distance pings take longer to return, it is possible to get up-to-date information at various depths. Acoustic transducers that produce and receive pings from various angles are used by ADCPs.
The instrument can be put immediately on the seafloor or even on a fixed object like a mooring buoy. Moreover, they can be attached to moving vehicles like ships or unmanned underwater and surface craft. The ADCP is permanently placed on the outer hull's bottom of big research vessels. Similar to other sonar types, ADCPs are offered at a variety of frequencies.
High-resolution data can be provided at higher frequencies, The system keeps account of when each ping is sent and received; as longer-distance pings take longer to return, it is possible to get up-to-date information at various depths.

The ADCP is permanently placed on the outer hull's bottom of big research vessels. Similar to other sonar types, ADCPs are offered at a variety of frequencies. High-resolution data can be provided at higher frequencies, like 300 kiloHertz, which is beneficial close to the surface.
The Global Acoustic Doppler current profiler market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2023 to 2030.
The Pinnacle 45, the company's next-generation long-range ADCP, is now available. Teledyne RD Instruments launched the Workhorse Long Ranger Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler, which has become the industry standard.
The 45 kHz phased array Pinnacle ADCP, which is rated to a depth of 2000 m, offers a 1000 m current profiling range with reduced size and weight, a game-changing field-swappable system configuration for real-time or self-contained applications, independent or interlaced long-range and high-resolution modes, in addition to many other cutting-edge new features and product improvements.
The extremely adaptable Pinnacle 45 can be used for self-contained applications like bottom-mounted, mid-column, or moving boat applications like mid- to deep-water oceanographic investigations, real-time applications like oil rig monitoring, and or surface buoys that are used to get precise, long-range data on current profile.
