Overview - Measurement principles and quality control

The Generation 2 Aquadopp can capture both average currents as a current meter or profiler (depending on the insturment type), as well a as waves using the PUV method. 

To understand how the instrument derives these measurements, please refer to the following sections which outline the theoretical foundations and physical principles involved:

• Principles of Operation - Currents
• Principles of Operation - Waves
• Principles of Operation - High Resolution

If you are preparing to process your dataset or want to ensure correct quality-control procedures, see:

• Post-processing and quality control
