ADVERSITY AWARD WINNER
This photo shows the endurance and willpower needed by marine experts. It records the efforts that went into confronting everything from the very harsh conditions and natural forces at hand to other impediments, all a part of working in and on the water. Hurricane Beryl was no match for our intrepid team and Teledyne ADCP technology. Valuable data on Hurricane Beryl was collected!

It was decided to install our ADCPV50, which was a routine installation for us.We chose to add some extra weight to prevent any movement. Weeks later, it was announced that Hurricane Beryl was expected to hit the coast of Mexico.We wanted to visit the ADCP to secure it, but all the local boats had already been tied down by their owners along the coast.We had no choice but to hope that the equipment would remain intact after the storm.To our surprise,after the storm passed,the equipment was still in place,and we were able to recover it and gather valuable data on Hurricane Beryl.It was a relief to get our equipment back.
MOMENT OF ZEN AWARD WINNER
It is all about displaying what is beautiful and soothing about the ocean. If anything, it’s the perfect reason to put pictures of nature at peace and, in many cases, at her most magnificent. The Golden Hour (just before the sunsets, when the light is softer and pleasing to nature) at Ganga River, Marine Drive, Patna, India. The mission is to study the discharge measurements and depth across the Ganga River using the TRDI RiverRay ADCP, under the Water Resources Department of Bihar.
