Tóm tắt	The Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) is an instrument that uses Doppler-shifted acoustic backscatter to measure water velocity profiles along a vertical profile. Developed by RD Instruments in the 1980s, it has become the standard method for high-resolution current profiling in oceanographic research. ADCPs provide unprecedented spatial and temporal resolution of ocean circulation patterns.	Conductivity-Temperature-Depth (CTD) profiling is the primary method for measuring vertical profiles of seawater properties in oceanography. Developed by Neil Brown in 1977, CTD instruments are equipped with sensors for conductivity, temperature, and pressure (depth), and are typically mounted on water-sampling rosettes. CTD profiling provides essential hydrographic data that characterizes water mass structure, stratification, and circulation patterns.	Geostrophic velocity is the current driven by balance between the pressure gradient force and the Coriolis force, derived from the thermal wind equation. In most of the ocean away from the equator and coastal boundaries, geostrophic balance is an excellent approximation to the actual flow. Developed by Harald Sverdrup and colleagues in the 1940s, geostrophic velocity calculation from hydrographic data enables estimation of ocean currents without direct current measurements.
