Falmounth Scientific Announces Current Meter Training in India

Falmouth Scientific, Inc. (FSI) of Cataumet (MA, USA) have recently announced that it has completed training for the Indian Navy in operation and maintenance of its 2D-ACM current meter systems.

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.
