SonTek's Ramon Cabrera discusses hydrologic application of Argonaut-ADV with Kevin Labbe'.	Eddie Simonds (USGS) shares experience with SonTek instruments.	SonTek's John Sloat shows how to use RiverSurveyor system via radio telemetry.

Do you need a good introduction to making flow measurements using hydroacoustic techniques? If so, attend SonTek's "Instruments for Hydrology" training course. This 2-day course has been presented at several locations across the USA and has been a major success. Classes held in Nevada, Indiana, and Colorado have trained over 75 hydrologists, biologists, engineers, and technicians from national and international agencies in the use of SonTek/YSI's advanced instruments for hydrology.

The advantage of this seminar is its premise of "learn by example." In addition to basic water-measurement theory, attendees will actually have the opportunity to program and install several types of SonTek equipment in a river setting, as well as collect data and analyze the results.

SonTek training course instructors are true veterans, and have conducted thousands of acoustic flow measurements around the world. A comprehensive training manual is also provided to each attendee along with other technical publications.

Instruments for Hydrology subjects include:

• Acoustic Doppler Principles of Operation
• Instrument Specifications for RiverSurveyor ADP, Argonaut-SL, Argonaut-XR, and Argonaut-ADV
• Flow Measurement Principles and Velocity-Index Rating Method
• Planning, Programming, and Installing the Argonaut-SL, -XR, -ADV
• Real-Time RiverSurveyor ADP Discharge Measurement Principles
• Programming the RiverSurveyor ADP
• Data Analysis and Quality Assurance Techniques
• High-Resolution Sampling Using the Argonaut-ADV
• Examples of Flow Monitoring Station Deployments
• Examples of Real-Time RiverSurveyor Discharge Measurements
• Conducting real-time river discharge measurements using SonTek's newest instruments, including the "Mini-ADP" RiverSurveyor Catamaran System (RiverCat)

Hydrologists from USBR prepare to use standard RiverSurveyor in Colorado.

Indiana hydrologist prepares Argonaut-SL with vertical beam for stage measurements.
