Validation of an Uncertainty Propagation Method for Moving‐Boat Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler Discharge Measurements

open access: yesWater Resources Research, 2023
The moving‐boat Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) gauging method is extensively used to measure the discharge of rivers and canals. Informed decisions related to water management require reliable estimates of the uncertainty of such measurements ...

Impact of acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) motion on structure function estimates of turbulent kinetic energy dissipation rate [PDF]

open access: yesOcean Science, 2022
Turbulent mixing is a key process in the transport of heat, salt, and nutrients in the marine environment, with fluxes commonly derived directly from estimates of the turbulent kinetic energy dissipation rate, ε. Time series of ε estimates are therefore

Submerged dunes and breakwater embayments mapped using wave inversions of shore-mounted marine X-Band radar data [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Surveying very shallow coastal areas, particularly around coastal defences, can be a logistically difficult and time consuming process. A marine-radar based bathymetry mapping technique has been used to remotely map the embayments around a series of ...

Richardson number (RiNo) float operations during the Patch Experiment (PATCHEX), and data summary [PDF]

open access: yes, 1988
The Patch Experiment (PATCHEX) was a multi-ship experiment that took place in the area near 34 N, 127 W, between 8 and 27 October, 1986. The ships used in the experiment and their chief scientific objectives were the following: R/V THOMPSON, AMP ...

Interannual Bottom-Intensified Current Thickening Observed on the Continental Slope Off the Southeastern Coast of Hokkaido, Japan

open access: yesFluids, 2022
By rotary empirical orthogonal function and coastal-trapped wave mode analyses, we analyzed current velocity data, collected from 2001 to 2016. The data were obtained by an acoustic Doppler current profiler, deployed upward at a location of 41°39.909′ N,

Imaging of Artificial Bubble Distribution Using a Multi-Sonar Array System

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022
Bubble clusters present in seawater can cause acoustic interference and acoustic signal distortion during marine exploration. However, this interference can also be used as an acoustic masking technique, which has significant implications for military ...

Lagrangian measurements of turbulent dissipation over a shallow tidal flat from pulse coherent Acoustic Doppler Profilers [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
We present high resolution (25 mm spatial, 8 Hz temporal) profiles of velocity measured over a shallow tidal flat using pulse-coherent Acoustic Doppler Profilers mounted on surface drifters.

Modulation of outer bank erosion by slump blocks: disentangling the protective and destructive role of failed material on the three-dimensional flow structure [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The three-dimensional flow field near the banks of alluvial channels is the primary factor controlling rates of bank erosion. Although submerged slump blocks and associated large-scale bank roughness elements have both previously been proposed to divert ...

Review of empirical models for estimation of dune field characteristics

open access: yesGrađevinar, 2017
The paper presents an overview of the current state-of-the art and an approach to the study of dunes by analysing direct generators of physical processes in river beds.
