Description:

Abstract:

The R/V Point Sur has a vessel-mounted Narrow Band ADCP operating at 150 khz. It is manufactured by RD Instruments and it is mounted in the hull of the ship directly at mid-ships. The unit is recessed into a void so that it does not protrude past the contour of the ship's hull. This void is lined with an acoustically opaque substance called Techthane.

Purpose: These data were collected for oceanographic research.
