Validation of Streamflow Measurements Made with Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The U.S. Geological Survey and other international agencies have collaborated to conduct laboratory and field validations of acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) measurements of streamflow. Laboratory validations made ...
Correcting Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler Discharge Measurements Biased by Sediment Transport
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A negative bias in discharge measurements made with an acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) is attributed to the movement of sediment on or near the streambed, and is an issue widely acknowledged by the scientific ...
Discussion of “Near-Transducer Errors in ADCP Measurements: Experimental Findings” by Marian Muste, Dongsu Kim, and Juan A. González-Castro
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Monte Carlo Approach for Uncertainty Analysis of Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler Discharge Measurement by Moving Boat
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents a method using Monte Carlo simulations for assessing uncertainty of moving-boat acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) discharge measurements using a software tool known as QUant, which was developed ...
Errors in Acoustic Doppler Profiler Velocity Measurements Caused by Flow Disturbance
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Acoustic Doppler current profilers (ADCPs) are commonly used to measure streamflow and water velocities in rivers and streams. This paper presents laboratory, field, and numerical model evidence of errors in ADCP measurements ...
