For ADCPs, the -axis in instrument coordinates is commonly defined along the axis of the ADCP pressure case. The velocity data are commonly given in terms of this -coordinate. For a vertical beam, the along beam bin center separation () is given by:
where is the distance between bin-centers along the -axis.
For diverging beams, the along beam bin center separation () is given by:
where is the angle of the diverging beams with the -axis.
