Combining unparalleled sensitivity and the reliability you expect, the Argonaut-MD (Mooring Deployment) acoustic Doppler current meter has become the instrument of choice in the oceanographic community. Capable of measuring water motion at a "single point" almost anywhere in the oceans, this 3-D, vector-averaging current meter is small, light, and inexpensive. The MD’s high-sensitivity transducers improve performance in environments that have exceptionally low scattering conditions. The MD's simple, yet elegant design, and its capacity for long-term deployments provide you with accurate, dependable ocean current data.
Standard Features:
  • Optimized 45 degree slant, 120 degree orthogonal beam geometry for    3D current measurements with no directional bias
  • 1.5 MHz Acoustic frequency for optimal performance in low scattering    environments
  • 600 m rated Delrin housing with 40 mm transducers
  • Reflected echo intensity output
  • RS-232 communication protocol
  • ViewArgonaut Windows software for real time data collection, data    retrieval, diagnostics, and processing
  • Flexible sampling strategies for reduced duty cycle operation and    extended deployments of over 1 year
  • Internal 128MB memory (stores over 3 million samples)
  • Temperature sensor mounted on exposed titanium pin for fast    response
  • Compass/tilt sensor
  • Internal alkaline battery pack
    Optional Features:
  • Integrated external SeaBird CT sensor
  • Integrated internal inductive modem
  • Mounting clamps
  • Internal piezoresistive pressure sensor
  • In-line load cage
  • RS-422 communications protocol
