Figure 8. A conceptual diagram of the three beams emitted from the ADP mounted on a vessel and directed down through the water column. The measured water motion Um(z) at a given depth, z, is the sum of the vessel velocity, Ub, and the current velocity at a given depth, U(z). Image courtesy of SonTek.
