Abstract
Current meters are primarily used for measuring water velocity through time. Moored instruments may use mechanical (rotor and vane), electromagmetic, o r acoustic technology to perform the measurements. Current meters may also have attached sensors for temperature, conductivity, pressure, oxygen and turbidity measurements.

Goal 14. Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development
Goal 14. Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development::14.a Increase scientific knowledge, develop research capacity and transfer marine technology, taking into account the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission Criteria and Guidelines on the Transfer of Marine Technology, in order to improve ocean health and to enhance the contribution of marine biodiversity to the development of developing countries, in particular small island developing States and least developed countries
