RiverPro 1200 ADCP — Mid-Range River Discharge Measurement System
A true broadband ADCP delivering the highest accuracy bottom track and water profiling on a second-by-second basis for mid-range rivers and streams, 20 cm to 25 m deep.
Unique in its class as a true broadband ADCP, the RiverPro 1200 delivers the very highest accuracy bottom track and water profiling on a second-by-second basis. This is a must for river measurements where depth and velocity change constantly, often rapidly. RiverPro 1200 users worldwide know that with the right technology, variability between transects can be minimized, saving time both in the field and back at the office.
RiverPro 1200's "adaptive sampling" algorithms expertly determine all the setup parameters needed for a good measurement — with the instrument handling data setup and optimization, you can focus on what matters most: field objectives, correct procedure, and skilled execution. Extreme events — both floods and droughts — climate change, pollution, wildlife habitat, and river restoration projects have all increased the need for volumetric flow data. The multi-purpose RiverPro 1200 is the ideal tool for accurately collecting the critical in-situ water-column and riverbed details needed for actionable analysis.
