This device is ideal for quick spot-checks or profiling studies where portability ease-of-use accuracy reliability are critical factors.
Another product line from SonTek is the Argonaut-SL series which includes both single-point current meters (SPCMs) and side-looking sonar systems (SL). These instruments are used extensively by researchers studying sediment transport patterns near shorelines or within estuaries where currents can be highly variable over short distances.
More recently SonTek introduced their HydroSurveyor bathymetric ADCP which combines high-resolution bathymetry with high-accuracy velocity measurements providing users with detailed information about underwater topography flow patterns sediment transport etc.. This system is ideal for mapping shallow-water environments such as rivers lakes reservoirs ponds harbors marinas etc..
In addition to its product offerings SonTek also provides training services technical support consulting services calibration services repair services software updates firmware upgrades etc.. The company prides itself on providing exceptional customer service ensuring that customers receive prompt assistance whenever they need it.
Headquartered in San Diego California USA SonTek operates globally through its network of distributors dealers agents representatives partners affiliates subsidiaries etc.. The company has established itself as one of the most trusted brands in hydrology oceanography offering reliable accurate cost-effective solutions to customers worldwide.
