SeaZone ADCP Processing
Helping to visualise your undersea environment
Modern oceanographic measurement systems such as Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers (ADCP’s) are capable of producing large volumes of geographically and temporally referenced data for which simple ASCII output is not an option.
SeaZone Solutions’ ADCP Processing Suite provides the marine scientist proven data processing and analysis capabilities. Built using relational database technology, these tools utilise the database's own internal language (SQL) to provide the user a means of accessing the data required via a combination of pre stored queries.
The software has been developed with a modular architecture to support all steps in the analysis of oceanographic time series and transect data from the editing of acquired data through to the production of final plots for output to printer or file, thereby maximising the surveyor’s productivity.
The ADCP Processing basic functionality is expanded through three optional modules:
The software thus provides an EASILY operated yet FLEXIBLE way of processing, analysing and presenting ADCP Data in which the user has full control of what is displayed.
Key Features
- Geo-referencing of data including selection of data on user specified points, lines and grids
- Transformation from/to worldwide geodetic datums and projections
- Vertical referencing with respect to Tidal, Chart, Terrestrial and Mean Sea Level Datums
- Temporal referencing of data by UTC or relative to HW or LW time
- Data masking to exclude invalid data from below the seabed or above the sea surface
- Analysis of Velocity Profile data including computation of depth averages
- Analysis of Time Series Data
- Extraction of data along pre- and post-defined transects, positions and
- regions
- The production of Tidal Diamonds, Tidal Stream Atlases and Transects
Future Development
It is planned that Version 2 of the software will be available from February 2007 to be relaunched as SeaZone Temporal Professional.
Enhancements currently in development include a river and estuarine discharge module, support for non RDI instruments and a complete revamp of the database engine enabling data to be loaded into Oracle and other relational databases.
SeaZone is developing the ADCP Processing suite to align it with its other products and thereby providing a complete solution for the processing and display of marine geographic information. For example, SeaZone Temporal Viewer enables to access, present and export tidal data (including from ADCP Processing suite) within GIS.
CHS is a leader in the deployment and processing of data from Acoustic Doppler Profiler (ADPs) and Jonathan co-wrote SeaZone's advanced ADCP Processing software.
