Nortek Aquadopp Current Meter

The Aquadopp current meter is the world’s most cost effective directional wave gauge.
Using a special “diagnostics” mode, the Aquadopp current meter may be configured to burst sample velocity and pressure at 1 Hz in order to make the directional wave measurements. This is known as the PUV measurement method and is most suitable for water depths from 2-10 m. The Aquadopp must be mounted firmly to the bottom for directional wave measurements.

Infos / Datasheet

The Aquadopp has several significant advantages when compared to other open ocean current meters:

  • No calibration necessary; no zero-point drift over time
  • Low power consumption for long deployments
  • All plastic and titanium parts eliminate corrosion
  • No moving parts that can be blocked or damaged
  • Effective directional wave gauge
  • Remote sampling volume away from the mounting structure
  • Small and light weight (less than 3kg)
