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