Riverboat SP Tethered Boat For The StreamPro ADCP Improve Your StreamPro Performance The Oceanscience Riverboat SP is the top choice for deployment of the TRDI StreamPro acoustic Doppler current profiler. Upgrade from the standard StreamPro float to the more stable, rugged and fully corrosion-resistant tethered boat. The Riverboat SP makes safe, easy measurements of discharge in relatively slow and fast flowing waters. Perform Measurements In Faster Water The Oceanscience Riverboat SP can gather data at water velocities over 12fps (3.6m/s). The proven bow flare trimaran hull design prevents the boat from nose-diving and maintains instrument orientation by reducing pitch, roll and yaw in varied flows. The central hull reduces drag by a factor of 2-4 over catamaran designs making the Riverboat SP capable of operation in a range of water velocities. Long fins improve stability in very low flow environments. Standard Configuration Made of unbreakable polyethylene, the Riverboat SP is strong and can handle tough deployment conditions. The standard boat configuration fits a 2” TRDI StreamPro ADCP, and the latest instrument clamp is suitable for the StreamPro with or without an internal compass upgrade. Large kick-up fins are standard to ensure snag-free operation. Use The Cable Chimp For Steady Transects Online Viewers Click Images for Video Also available for the Riverboat SP is the Oceanscience Cable Chimp II remotely-operated cableway vehicle. For measurements using a tag line, the Cable Chimp II can slowly transect the river at a steady and repeatable speed offering the most consistent and best quality discharge data. Using the Cable Chimp II with the Riverboat SP is possible at water velocities up to 10fps (3m/s). www.oceanscience.com
