ADCP surveys
21 November 2012
The Commission has successfully completed two Acoustic Doppler Current Profile (ADCP) surveys. These ADCP surveys are part of an on-going data gathering programme to provide accurate information on the tidal current profile from the sea bed to the surface. The data is collected over a period of four weeks, and is used to assess the potential power available in the area and to verify results from computer generated tidal flow models. The Commission intends to carry out one further ADCP survey this year.
