New laboratory measurements and numeric model studies show
the present folded-path ATT current meters are stable and
sensitive, but are not well suited for mean flow observations
in surface gravity waves. Alternate designs which reduce
unwanted wake effects are proposed. ATT flowmeter history,
principles of acoustic flow sensors, mean flow near cylinders,
and the need for linear flow sensors are reviewed.

Four current meter models compared in strong currents in Drake Passage
(American Meteorological Society, 2013-10)Seven current meters representing four models on a stiffly buoyed mooring were placed for an 11-month deployment to intercompare their velocity measurements: two vector-measuring current meters (VMCMs), two Aanderaa recording ... -
A data processing module for acoustic doppler current meters
(Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, 1992-01)This report describes the development of a Data Processing Module (DPM) designed for use with an RD Instruments Acoustic Doppler Current Meter (ADCM). The DPM is a self-powered unit in its own pressure case and its use ... -
Performance of a new generation of acoustic current meters
(American Meteorological Society, 2007-02)As part of a program aimed at developing a long-duration, subsurface mooring, known as Ultramoor, several modern acoustic current meters were tested. The instruments with which the authors have the most experience are the ...
