- Ease of use—easy to carry, easy to deploy, and easy to operate; just power and go.
- Qrz-control—automatic adaptive sampling continuously optimizes your discharge measurement from bank to bank, thus ensuring the highest quality data without your intervention.
- Reduced size, weight, and flow disturbance—the sleek new phased array transducer design provides increased data accuracy, as well as reduced size, weight, and flow disturbance.
- Versatile—a single instrument can now deliver high quality data in a 0.5m stream or a 40m river.
- Superior surface measurements -- interwoven independent and short range measurements improve the discharge computation in your critical surface layer.
- Platform stability – RiverRay’s new float, designed and built by OceanScience, boasts reduced drag, causes less flow disturbance, and provides superior handling - even in high water velocities and waves.
- No cables required – data is wirelessly transmitted to your shore station via BluetoothTM technology.
- DGPS compatible – integrate an external DGPS for difficult conditions, such as moving beds.

RiverRay ADCP Application Notes
Highlighted Application: RiverRay Application Note: Discharge measurements were conducted on the Mississippi River using a new RiverRay ADCP and a Rio Grande ADCP. Results indicate that the relative difference between the two ADCPs’ measured mean discharges was less than 0.1%. » download PDF

RiverRay ADCP FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions):
- Why Phased Array?
- Can I use GPS?
- What comes standard with the system?
- What is the maximum water velocity I can use the system in?
- What kind of range can I expect from the Bluetooth?
| 1. Question: Why Phased Array? |
| Answer:
Our phased array delivers a smaller system size and weight, as well as reduced flow disturbance due to the transducer’s flat face. It also provides speed of sound independence, as salinity does not need to be known (except for computation of a vertical beam range and vertical velocity.) Phased array also offers the potential for a fifth vertical beam, which is good for bottom range measurement and turbulence studies.

| 2. Question: Can I use GPS? |
| Answer:
Yes. The system’s river boat is wired to accept GPS and routes it into the RiverRay via the water proof connector. The GPS data is interleaved into the RiverRay data stream so a single port is all that is required to transmit the data back to your shore station.

| 3. Question: What comes standard with the system? |
| Answer:
A RiverRay system includes the RiverRay ADCP, our custom-designed Oceanscience tri-hull river boat, the WinRiver II software package, BBTools utility software, test cable and maintenance kit.

| 4. Question What is the maximum water velocity I can use the system in? |
| Answer:
When mounted in the tri-hull river boat the maximum water velocity is 5 meters per second.

| 5.Question: What kind of range can I expect from the Bluetooth? |
| Answer:
You can expect a range of up to 100 meters. When using a Bluetooth external device and a high gain antenna, we routinely achieve ranges well in access of 200 meters.
