Standard operating procedures for under ice discharge measurements using ADCPs

Description

Acoustic Doppler current profilers (ADCPs) are used for measuring river discharge from moving boats. Specialized software now allow these instruments to be deployed to measure discharge using the mid-section method. Minor revisions were made to the original Water Survey of Canada Standard Operation Procedure to meet AEP’s operational needs.
