We are now in contact with them. The price tag is very reasonable, and we hope that we can invite them to our next regatta in June.

Besides the above mentioned once:

I just found out that there is another company that sells remote controlled boat for ADCPs and even ADCPs(!) from Sweden.

Main page:
https://www.satlab.com.se/

Boat:
https://www.satlab.com.se/product-category/hydrography-oceanography/

ADCPs:

HydroFlow Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler

Do you have any contact or experiences with these?

Dear Kristoffer,

We deployed the ArcBoat since three years now, and we haven´t had any issues with the drive belts up to now.
Fingers crossed.

Hi Alex

I also checked several RiverPro measurements and none of them showed this behaviour. However, I forwarded yout question to the operations technicians to get a wider spectrum of responses.

Best

Dear Kevin,

thanks a lot for your answer. I was aware of usage of QRev in the USGS, but it is interesting to hear that not all agencies might follow that example.

It is the same in Germany, but based on a different standard:  Which brings me to my point (of asking this simple question): Q-determination, despite ISO standards, is still depending on the software you use/prefer and – at least in Germany – we see that this can lead to systematic differences in the order of 3-5% in the measurements.

I would simply call it “wading instruments and current meters” or

“Wading instruments, current meters, and Co. “

Seems like the forum always uses the local time of each user. That can lead to unstructured posts.

 

For example, I posted my previous post after the one of Sam Everitt. Any idea why is that? Do we need to transfer each post to UTC?
