Propeller-type current meter

Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-008182

A device used to measure the speed of water currents, featuring a propeller that rotates as water flows past it. The rotation rate of the propeller is directly proportional to the velocity of the current. These meters are deployed in rivers, oceans, and estuaries to monitor water movement and transport processes.
