### Webinar Description

In this webinar, Dan Breyre (Product Lead, Sofar) and Anders Tengberg (Product Manager & Scientific Advisor, Aanderaa) detail how the integration of Sofar’s Spotter Platform with Aanderaa’s Doppler Current Sensor (DCS) lowers the cost and complexity of measuring subsurface currents for offshore industry, researchers, government, and coastal communities.

#### Key Points
- How Spotter integrates seamlessly with DCS to make highly accurate observations of subsurface current speed and direction [that are nearly identical to those made by the more expensive and cumbersome ADCP](/content/posts/spotter-adcp-currents-field-comparison/index.html).
- How the rugged DCS’ fast sampling rate, low power consumption, and high data quality, complement Spotter’s durability, rapid deployability, and real-time data accessibility.
- How marine professionals working across diverse ocean environments — from offshore wind farms to aquaculture sites — use the real-time currents data collected by Spotter to improve operational safety and efficiency and power better decisions at sea.

A Q&A follows the presentation.
