Buoyancy package for self-contained acoustic doppler current profiler mooring

Abstract

A buoyancy package for self-contained Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler(SC-ADCP 1200 RD instruments USA) was designed and fabricated indigenously, for subsurface mooring in coastal waters. The system design is discussed. The design to keep SC-ADCP in upright position and easy to handle and is suitable for deploying from a small boat. The mooring system has been successfully test deployed.
