Performance of a new generation of acoustic current meters
Hogg, Nelson G.; Frye, Daniel E. (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 ...
