4 SeaWATCH / SeaPROFILER ADCP Self-Contained and Direct Reading 150 khz / 78 khz ADCP The ROWE Technologies SeaWATCH family of self-contained Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers (ADCPs) lead the industry in state of the art acoustic Doppler technology. ROWE s second generation electronics provide higher power operation needed for lower frequency [78 khz and150 khz] ADCPs. The SeaWATCH systems are offered in both conventional piston transducers, and the newly designed ROWE Doppler Array. The performance characteristics of both piston transducers and Doppler Array configurations are similar, but the Doppler Array system dramatically reduces the unit s volume and weight requirements. This, combined with the next generation of ROWE compact electronics and robust signal processing, provides a versatile ADCP platform, capable of producing precise current profile measurements over extended ranges out to 1000km. ROWE s Doppler Array technologies offer unique benefits, especially in low frequency systems where the size of the transducers dominate the overall ADCP volume and weight. These Doppler Array surfaces are flat, and form acoustic beams with characteristics equivalent to conventional piston transducers, but use approximately 50% less frontal area, volume and weight. ROWE Doppler Arrays can form up to 9 acoustic beams (at 0º, 4 at 20º, and 4 at 30º) unlike existing piston technology which uses four fixed beams in a Janus configuration. The ROWE Doppler Array design increases measurement flexibility for better velocity accuracy (30º beams), improves range (20º beams), or generates a highly accurate altitude/ (single broadside beam).

16 SeaWAVE ADCP SeaWAVE 300 khz / 600 khz / 1200 khz The Rowe Technologies SeaWAVE product family of Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers (ADCPs) represent the industry s state of the art in acoustic Doppler technology. The SeaWAVE ADCP measures wave direction and wave height while also providing full current profile data even throughout the wave burst interval. The SeaWAVE simultaneously measures wave spectra, wave direction, and complete current profiles for every ping. The SeaWAVE can also measure current profiles during the wave burst interval, so you can get full velocity profile coverage during your deployment. The SeaWAVE uses both a vertical beam and a pressure sensor to accurately measure range to the surface. The vertical beam functions similar to an inverted echo sounder providing more accurate, higher frequency wave measurements. The SeaWAVE wave measurement ADCPs are available in both the direct-read and self-contained configuration. WaveForce Technologies [ partnered with Rowe Technologies, Inc., offers ocean wave data analysis software packages -- both a real-time and post-processing software suite that interfaces seamlessly with the SeaWAVE ADCP outputs.

They use Rowe s acoustic Doppler Piston (DP) technology and are well-suited for navigation applications in shallow water or in deep water, down to 6000M. The SeaPILOT s compact size, extended range, and precision make it an ideal solution for ROVs, AUVs, and other submersible platforms. SeaPILOT comes in 3 different frequencies (300 khz, 600 khz, and 1200 khz), all configured with Doppler Piston transducers, and available in different package options. SeaPILOT OEM 300 khz / 600 khz The SeaPILOT OEM 300 khz and 600 khz models are available as an OEM configuration. They offer the same outstanding performance as the standard DVL package, but meet custom packaging requirements as found in small AUVs and submersibles. Direct-Reading DVL OEM 300 khz / 600 khz / 1200 khz SeaPILOT OEM consists of an electronics board stack and four Doppler Piston transducers). Doppler Piston transducers are manufactured as separate elements and are not potted into the AUV housing. This facilitates easy installation and repair (6-inch AUV housing shown with machined pockets for the transducers).

Renewable energy: High-resolution current data collected with vessel mounted and fixed mount deployments aid in Tidal and Wave energy research. The data is used to model current structure, turbulence, shears, oscillations, and data collection for extractable energy Turbulence: Higher ping sampling rates allows users to collect high-resolution turbulence data. It can collect more samples, faster and close to the transducer, still collecting current profiles at longer ranges. Bottom Boundary layer studies: SeaSEVEN s high performance Doppler engine and low profile housing allows collecting high accuracy, high resolution, high ping sampling data close to the seabed. Reynolds stress: research is accommodated with the ability to collect vertical profiles in minute bursts of 2-Hz or greater, along-beam velocity s. The large recorder capacity, and ability to do several configurations simultaneously allow collection of many different profiles Sediment Transport: 24 bit A-D conversion provides high-resolution echo intensity profiles, and high speed data download, real-time or self contained, returns it to the host computer. A user can additionally collect particle size and distribution density.

22 SeaWATCH / SeaPROFILER DF ADCP Self-Contained and Direct-Reading 300 khz / 600 khz / 1200 khz ADCP The ROWE Technologies SeaWATCH DF (Dual Frequency) and SeaPROFILER DF product family of Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers (ADCPs) lead the industry in state of the art acoustic Doppler technology. ROWE s second generation electronics provide the ability to use two independent acoustic frequencies in the same instrument.

With the SeaWATCH DF and SeaPROFILER DF you truly have two ADCPs in one! With this DF ADCP you do not need to forfeit performance or flexibility. All of the same core signal processing functions available in the single frequency ADCP model are available in the DF model. This includes broadband, narrowband and pulse-to-pulse signal processing as well as the ability to track the bottom and obtain earth-referenced velocity measurements. Both the SeaPROILER DF and SeaWATCH DF ADCPs are well-suited for a variety of coastal and offshore oceanographic applications including meteorological and wave data acquisition, environmental management, coastal engineering site assessment, and oil/gas exploration and drilling. The systems are easily deployed on buoys, moorings or sea-floor structures.
