2 WorkHorse Mariner ADCP Applications
The WorkHorse Mariner is designed to measure real-time current profiles of
coastal, inshore, and open ocean water current structures from temporary or
permanent mounting in a vessel. It gives fine along-track resolution thanks
to RDI’s superior low-noise data, including bottom tracking. The Mariner
ADCP’s small size and light weight makes hull mounting an easier process
and a more reasonable expense. The Deck Box is designed to team up with
the vessel’s DGPS input to integrate ADCP readings with precise position
information. WinRiver is the most often used software package for ADCP
setup, river discharge data collection, and data review. For detailed infor-
mation on how to use WinRiver, see the WinRiver User’s Guide.
