HVG OFFSHORE EQUIPMENT 0117: Current Float Buoy
After being deployed into water, current float buoy can constantly and automatically transmits the ADCP data to the shore station, which greatly reduces the burden of measurement work. This buoy can get all the data in disater weather such as under typhoon environment.
