SUBS - MODEL D2 Deep Water ADCP/ADP Buoy
Streamlined Underwater Buoyancy System
- Improves data by significantly enhancing instrument stability
- Virtually eliminates instrument movement due to vortex shedding behind spheres
- Smaller frontal area and decreased drag coefficient - less mooring inclination and excursion
- Ideal for ADP's, ADCP's, single point current meters, optical and acoustic instruments
See specifications and a picture of a Model C2 SUB with an RDI ADCP mounted.
- Mounting ADCP's or other instrumentation in a streamlined buoyancy package
reduces the variability caused by mooring movement typical of spherical
buoyancy.
- Few instruments have the capability of segregating mooring movement from actual
data.
- Reducing mooring movement is a significant criteria in acoustic mooring design.
- Reduced frontal area and drag coefficient allow a smaller and lighter mooring.
- Reducing mooring movement is a prime design criteria of optic moorings.
BENEFITS
- Unmatched mooring stability provides the best in instrument platforms.
- Virtually eliminates vortex shedding effects which are inherent with spherical floatation.
- Reduces the potential for the measurement errors associated with mooring movement.
- Substantially reduces mooring excursions and inclinations.
- Significant improvement to depth keeping characteristics.
- Self-compensating for mooring inclination and flow direction.
- Reduced buoyancy requirement due to lower mooring frontal area.
- Supplied complete with buoyancy or purchasers can utilise their existing VinyFloats.
