Falmounth Scientific Announces Current Meter Training in India

Over 30 Navy personnel from five vessels attended the 3-day training course, which was conducted by Fred Hegg of FSI at the National Hydrographic Survey facility in Visakhapatnam. FSI supplied fourteen of the 2D-ACM current meters with conductivity, temperature, and depth (CTD) modules to the Indian Navy in February of this year. The current meters use acoustic phase-shift transit-time technology to measure a 2-dimensional point-velocity. When instrumented with CTD modules, the system also provides salinity and sound velocity data. The current meter systems will be deployed for monitoring shallow-water currents, salinity, and sound velocities.
