Key Features:
?Vertical beam provides more precise bathymetric data and improved characterization of slopes and irregular river beds
Ease of use—easy to carry, easy to deploy, and easy to operate. Just power and go!
Qrz-control—automatic adaptive sampling continuously optimizes your discharge measurement from bank to bank, thus ensuring the highest quality data without your intervention
Versatile—a single instrument can now deliver high quality data in a 0.5 m stream or a 40 m river.
Go straight to work collecting highly accurate stream and river discharge data with the RIVERRAY ADCP (Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler). This economical turnkey system comes complete with: the RiverRay ADCP, a custom-designed boat, userfriendly software, and convenient wireless communication - everything you need to begin making precision river discharge measurements.
With over thirty years experience delivering acoustic Doppler products, Teledyne RDI’s RiverRay is the culmination of years of technology advances and invaluable customer feedback.
From a shallow stream to a raging river, the revolutionary RiverRay delivers the simplicity and reliability your operations require, at a price that won’t break your budget.?
