Each yellow pylon on this walkway (top) supports an individual
Acoustic Doppler Velocimeter (ADV).
This large-model basin at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Waterways Experiment Station in
Vicksburg, Mississippi, is designed for the study of currents generated by a wavefield with angled
incidence on a model beach (bottom). The ADVs are deployed to synchronously gather
data across the wavefield through use of RS-485 communication protocol.
