SeaGuardII DCP Wave

600 kHz bottom-mounted Doppler current profiler measuring directional waves, currents and water quality in one instrument.

Description

The SeaGuardII DCP Wave is a 600 kHz Doppler Current Profiler that measures directional wave parameters and currents from a bottom-mounted installation, using Acoustic Wave software 5759. Adaptive pulse technology switches automatically between two broadband modes and one narrowband mode depending on wave height.

Key features

  • Covers the complete wave range from 0.2 m to 20 m
  • Wave sampling at 2 Hz or 4 Hz, configurable integration interval of 5 to 30 minutes
  • Processes up to three current columns in parallel
  • Maximum deployment depth of 40 m in normal scatter conditions
  • Redundant wave measurement possible with wave and tide sensor 5218
  • Field validated against MOTUS buoy, Datawell Waverider and pressure-based wave sensors

Applications

Navigation safety, modelling, energy assessment, infrastructure design, coastal processes studies and oil and gas operations.
