SVR – Surface Velocity Radar

The SVR allows scientists to determine the surface velocity of water. Designed specifically to measure streams and rivers, the SVR gives you precise speed measurement from a stationary position outside the body of water.

Face Panel

The face panel includes a 3-digit speed display and three buttons: menu, select, and power. Using the “menu” and “select” buttons you can control display backlighting, cosine correction, serial communication output mode, and high / low speed range settings.

Angle Correction

The SVR includes cosine error correction, allowing the unit to account for target angles not parrellel to the direction of water travel.

The SVR includes an internal sensor to detect vertical angle, and allows users to set horizontal angles to ensure accurate speeds.
