Rio Grande ADCP
A revolutionary new tool for shallow water discharge measurement

Workhorse Rio Grande is a accurate, rapid sampling current profiling system designed to operate from a moving boat. The Rio Grande can be used for a wide range of river conditions, from shallow 30 cm deep streams to rushing rivers and tidal estuaries where no prior discharge data exists.		Key Specifications Frequency: 1200 kHz 600 kHz Profiling range: 0.3* - 21m 0.7 - 75m Datasheet Download Rio Grande Brochure (213 Kb) >>click here Application Information Rio Grande ADCP Application Notes >> view app notes Data Samples Rio Grande ADCP Data Samples >> view data Software WinRiver Software >>learn more FAQs Rio Grande ADCP FAQs  >>learn more
Teledyne RDI's patented BroadBand technology allows small depth cells and fast transects in velocity and discharge measurements Fast, accurate, and repeatable discharge measurement Integration capability with external sensors: GPS, depth sounder, and gyro compass through Windows software (WinRiver) Low flow or weak current measurement capability with high-precision modes (equipped as standard) Large depth range profiling capability that allows one unit to be used in both dry season (shallow and low flow) and flood season (high stage and strong flow) for the same site Windows-based data acquisition and playback software with standard discharge summary table playback and processing.

Rio Grande ADCP Application Notes

	Highlighed Application: ADCPs in Action in remote Alaska No phones, no bikes no motorcars. The USGS in Alaska has it tough! They are required to chart river flows in some of the toughest wilderness areas on the planet. Trust them to come up with a simple solution. Since they need a plane to access remote areas anyhow, they decided to use the plane as a boat, too! >>read full story
	Highlighed Application: ADCPs™ Assist International Team to Measure the Mightiest River: Measuring the Amazin' Amazon ADCPs have sparked a revolution in measuring river dischargethe volume of water flowing in a river. The ADCP method replaces a labor-intensive, time-consuming, life-risking approach that has remained largely unchanged for a hundred years. Nowhere are the advantages of the ADCP method and logistics more dramatic than the Amazon River in Brazil.  >>read full story
