Abstract
Disclosed is a LADCP and USBL combined observation device and a use method thereof. The device includes a cable winch system, a mounting frame, a LADCP system, a USBL beacon and a correction system. The LADCP system, the USBL beacon and the correction system can be mounted to the mounting frame by adopting a hardware support platform. The cable winch system can drive the LADCP system to deploy or recover along a vertical section. The LADCP system is used to obtain the current velocity of a single small profile, and the USBL beacon can locate the underwater position information, and the correction system can obtain data information in the seawater where the mounting frame is located, so as to calculate an absolute current velocity according to the velocity obtained by the LADCP system and the current data obtained by the correction system.
