Performance improvement for ADCPs on surface buoys (2019)

Updated

Presents data integrating the Attitude and Heading Reference Sensors (AHRS) into Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers (ADCP). Recent technological advances in miniature gyro-compensated motion sensors improved accuracy, resolution, reduction in physical size, power consumption, and cost addresses compared to earlier surface buoy-mounted ADCPs.
