Abstract
ADCPs (acoustic doppler current profiler) were first introduced to the oceanography community in the late 1970s (Rowe and Young, 1979). The instrument measures water velocity over a range of depths using doppler shifts in active acoustic signals. ADCPs may be moored on a traditional oceanographic mooring (see moored ADCP guidelines) or attached to the bottom of a ship (these guidelines apply). Different data management requirements exist for the two configurations.

Sustainable Development Goals
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::14.4 By 2020, effectively regulate harvesting and end overfishing, illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing and destructive fishing practices and implement science-based management plans, in order to restore fish stocks in the shortest time feasible, at least to levels that can produce maximum sustainable yield as determined by their biological characteristics
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
