Scientists use an Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler onboard ship to monitor the speed and direction of subsurface currents that have carried the NBST.

Swimming in the rain: novel untethered vehicle catches 'marine snow' falling through the sea

Like people feeling their way through a dark room by touching a wall, AUVs keep in contact with the seafloor by "touching" it with sound waves, using an acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP).

Flying blind in the ice factory: scientists test innovative technology to navigate vehicles under polar ice

An acoustic Doppler current profiler uses sound waves to measure current speeds and directions.

A sentry at the Atlantic gateway: experimental mooring monitors water flow through Hudson Strait

The OASIS moorings each comprise a suite of instruments: a thermistor chain to measure temperature with depth, a conductivity-temperature-depth sensor, a fluorometer to measure chlorophyll, a transmissometer for light transmission, meteorological instruments, a spectroradiometer, that measures light at different wavelengths, an acoustic Doppler current profiler, a carbon-dioxide sensor, a PAR (photosynthetically active radiation) sensor, and such system diagnostic information as battery-power levels.
