Principles of Extrapolation and Screening of Velocity Profiles

Velocity Profile Principles, Extrapolation of Velocity Profiles, Implementation of Screening Distance and more

The extrapolation and screening of velocity profile measurements from Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler instruments are essential aspects of the measurement process. It is important to understand the fundamental principles of velocity profiles within a channel and the reason why the extrapolation process can have substantial impact on the final discharge calculation.

Quantifying Flooding Events with Acoustic Data Scientific Response in a Changing Climate

Investment in flood and coastal risk management delivers many benefits. With the year 2018 seeming to culminate a trend of increasing extreme weather events and their intensity, water resource professionals are being called to question and respond appropriately in service to their constituents, both public and private, governmental and industrial. To this end, what insights do acoustic data, data analysis techniques and visualization bring us? How can we use these tools to better understand, manage, and model flooding events and their associated impacts?

HydroSurveyor Training - Australia

Taking the rQPOD out for a spin with HYPACK

Hydrographers from Australia and New Zealand participate in a training to learn more about how to use HYPACK for hydrographic surveying in tandem with SonTek's HydroSurveyor and RiverSurveyor-M9.

RiverSurveyor-M9 and rQPOD Training - Asia Pacific

Tether-Free Data Collection

SonTek Application Engineers in Asia-Pacific conduct RiverSurveyor-M9 training with the rPOD remote control surveying package.

rQPOD

Remote Control Surveying Package

Enjoy safe, remote-controlled surveying with the rQPOD remote boat surveying package! The rQPOD is hardware that when installed on a floating platform, transforms it into a motorized vehicle for remote operation and collection of ADCP data. The rQPOD package fits the SonTek RiverSurveyor-M9/S5 and HydroSurveyor-M9 ADCP, and comes with a Torrent Board V7 and the patent-pending motorized system.
