Summary

Vertical velocities profiles were measured at 15-minute intervals at six locations in the Bushy Park Reservoir using self-contained Sontek Argonaunt XRs upward-facing acoustic Doppler current profilers (ADCPs) with a frequency of either 1,500 or 3,000 kiloHertz (kHz)). The ADCPs were deployed between December 2013 and May 2015. Up to four sites were collected concurrently. Data were processed using ViewArgonaut, a software package developed by SonTek (http://www.sontek.com/softwaredetail.php?ViewArgonaut-Software-21) to compute the average velocity vector (magnitude and direction) for each time step (15-minute) at the location.

Purpose

These velocity vector data were collected in support of a U.S. Geological Survey water-quality study of Bushy Park Reservoir. The velocity vectors were used to evaluated the effects of water withdrawals by the Williams Station on reservoir circulation.
