Inference of Tidal Elevation in Shallow Water Using a Vessel-Towed Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler
Vessel-towed acoustic Doppler current profilers (ADCPs) have been widely used to measure velocity profiles. Since the instrument is usually mounted on a catamaran floating on the surface, previous studies have used the water surface as the reference level from which the vertical coordinate for the velocity profile is defined. However, because of the tidal oscillation, the vertical coordinate th...
متن کاملOperating an Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler aboard a Container Vessel
Since October 1992 an acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) has been in near-continuous operation on board a 118-m-long container vessel, the container motor vessel Oleander, which operates on a weekly schedule between Port Elizabeth, New Jersey, and Hamilton, Bermuda. The ADCP collects information on currents from the surface to depths as great as 404 m depending on zooplankton concentratio...
متن کاملAnalysis of Open-channel Velocity Measurements Collected with an Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler
Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers (ADCP’s) are easier to apply and more rapidly collect velocity data than traditional current-meter instruments. However, flow discharge estimates in natural rivers and canals based on ADCP measurements rely on extrapolations of the measured velocity profiles into the unmeasured zones of the flow. Furthermore, the accuracy and reliability of ADCP’s have not bee...
متن کاملData Quality Control for Vessel Mounted Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler . Application for the Western Mediterranean Sea
observations is proposed. Previous-t@ acquisition conditions are considered along with simultaneous ones. Independently of internal systems, location and misalignment, the auxiliary systems to acquisition determine the accuracy range of the current velocity profiles. Simultaneous-toacqu isition navigation conditions provide the physically descriptive weight (or reliability) of significance for ...
متن کاملSimultaneous measurements with 3D PIV and Acoustic Doppler Velocity Profiler
Simultaneous velocity measurements were taken using Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) and an Acoustic Doppler Velocity Profiler (ADVP) in a sharp open-channel bend with an immobile gravel bed. The PIV measures 3D velocity vectors in a vertical plane (~40cm x 20cm) at a frequency of 7.5 Hz, whereas the ADVP measures 3D velocity vectors in a vertical profile with a frequency of 31.25 Hz. The paper...
