Providing robust velocity measurements in a compact, easy-to-use package, the Argonaut-ADV is the ultimate instrument for shallow water flow monitoring.
Ideal for low-flow applications in shallow streams, marshes, lakes, or water treatment, the Argonaut-ADV’s advanced Doppler technology measures single-point velocity away from flow obstructions. All signal processing is done internally allowing the Argonaut-ADV to be readily integrated with a wide range of additional sensors.
