The TCM-1 Tilt Current Meter (TCM) is typically mounted in a vertical orientation where the meter is anchored on (or near) the sea bed and the meter floats above the anchor. But for some deployments, it is advantageous to measure water velocity near the top of the water column in an inverted orientation with the meter hanging below the attachment point. This application note describes how to use the TCM in an inverted orientation and includes recommendations on site selection, data logger configuration, anchoring techniques and data post-processing.
