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 کاملIncreasing accuracy of TPXO global tidal model using TELEMA numerical model in Bushehr Bay
Abstract Several methods have been developed such as experimental methods, numerical and computational models for studying the prediction of water level. The purpose of this research is to evaluate and verification Telemac's numerical tidal model in Bushehr Bay waters using measured data. In this regard, the Telemac 2D module has been used to simulate the tide in a A course, 15 days from 01/08...
متن کاملSubtidal currents from a shipboard acoustic Doppler current profiler in tidally dominated waters
As part of a comprehensive study of inner shelf dynamics in the vicinity of a major estuary, we test the performance of a shipboard acoustic Doppler current pro/iter (ADCP). We compare velocities from the ADCP with those from current meters located 6 and 10 m below the surface in water shallower than 30 m. We find the ADCP suitable to estimate subtidal currents of 0(10 cm S-I) embedded in a tid...
متن کاملPollutant Flux Estimation in an Estuary Comparison between Model and Field Measurements
This study proposes a framework for estimating pollutant flux in an estuary. An efficient method is applied to estimate the flux of pollutants in an estuary. A gauging station network in the Danshui River estuary is established to measure the data of water quality and discharge based on the efficient method. A boat mounted with an acoustic Doppler profiler (ADP) traverses the river along a pres...
متن کاملVariability of internally generated turbulence in an estuary, from 100 days of continuous observations
We present detailed observations of internally generated turbulence in a sheared, stratified natural flow, as well as an analysis of the external factors leading to its generation and temporal variability. Multi-month time series of vertical profiles of velocity, acoustic backscatter (0.5Hz), and turbulence parameters were collected with two moored acoustic Doppler current profilers (ADCPs) in ...
