Argonaut-SL Applications

Applications

Examples

• Shinnecock Inlet - Describes how SonTek side-looking ADP, ADVOcean, Argonaut-MD, and Argonaut-SL systems are being used to monitor currents for the Shinnecock Inlet Field Monitoring Project.

• Kankakee River - Describes how an Argonaut-SL was used to develop a standard cross-section to monitor discharge in the Kankakee River.
• LCRA Data Forecasting - Application Note describes how the Lower Colorado River Authority delivers on-the-spot data forecasts and 80-year projections.
• Lower Owens River Project - Describes how Argonaut-SLs and SWs are being used in one of the largest river restoration projects.
• River Gauging - Describes a practical approach to carrying out river gauging using an Argonaut-SL. This method provides considerable improvement in velocity accuracy over travel-time systems, while reducing operational costs.
• Spijkenisse Bridge - Describes the results of a comparison test between an Argonaut-SL and a travel time system installed on a bridge in The Netherlands.
• TechNote (PDF): Establishing a Discharge Monitoring Site

• Monitoring Water Quality - Combining the Argonaut-SL with a YSI 6820 Multiprobe offers a solution to monitoring water quality.

• Irrigation Canal - Describes how an Argonaut-SL is being used to compute the open channel flow through an irrigation canal.
• Lower Owens River Project - Describes how Argonaut-SLs and SWs are being used in one of the largest river restoration projects.
• Toshka Project Flow Regulation - Side-looking Argonauts are used to collect and log real-time data for day-to-day canal operation.
• Canal/Waterway Mount - Hardware option for mounting an Argonaut-SL.
• TechNote (PDF): Establishing a Discharge Monitoring Site

• Mooring Dolphin - Describes a way to mount an Argonaut-SL on a mooring dolphin to assist in ship berthing operations.

• Index Velocities - Describes use of four SLs in California Delta to obtain index velocities.

• Bosphorus Straits VTMIS - SonTek ADPs and Argonaut-SLs are integrated with Endeco systems on real-time data collection platforms (buoys) as part of a Vessel Traffic Management Information System.
