Method Step Description Sontek Argonaut ADV records water velocities 3000 times in a 5 minute interval every 15 minutes, and reports that as an average every 15 minutes. Velocity measurements are taken in x,y and z directions that are referenced to true North using the internal compass. Citation Deng, Yang , Helena Solo-Gabriele, Michael Laas, Amy Omae. 2007-09-26.
