SonTek ADCP Acoustic Workshop
Join us for a (free) one-day, hands-on learning experience in partnership with the University of Iowa's IIHR-Hydroscience and Engineering. See a selection of ADCP/ADVs used in a controlled flow environment at the IIHR Environmental Flume Facility, and learn more about SonTek's patented adaptive sampling technology SmartPulse. You will also learn how side-looking instrumentation has advanced over the years, and better understand the differences and advantages of vertically mounted ADCPs when used for flood monitoring and modelling.
