Nortek Signature 500 & 1000: Current Profiler
The Signature 500 ADCP is designed for flexibility and it measures current profiles at up to 8 Hz sampling frequency. The Signature 1000 ADCP is the optimal tool for turbulence measurements, with a maximum sampling frequency of 16 Hz it gives the scientific community an unprecedented opportunity to study a part of the turbulence spectrum that has never been accessible before.
