Summary

Acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) discharge measurement data were collected and analyzed for use in developing an operational uncertainty analysis tool known as QUant (Moore and others, 2016). These ADCP measurements were originally collected in the United States, Canada, and New Zealand as a part of research conducted to validate ADCP discharge measurements made with Teledyne RD Instruments RiverRay and SonTek M9 ADCPs (Boldt and Oberg, 2015). The data were chosen in order to represent a variety of geographic and streamflow conditions, such as mean depth and mean velocity. Due to current limitations in the QUant software, only measurements collected using Teledyne RD Instruments Rio Grande and StreamPro ADCPs were used. All [...]

Purpose

These discharge measurement data were collected for validation of ADCPs but are being used for developing and evaluating a tool for multiple-transect uncertainty analysis. The data may be used for additional uncertainty analyses or for ADCP validation or analysis.
