Abstract:Water current measurements based on the Doppler principle have become a standard approach in aquatic sciences. An acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) estimates the water velocity in a series of depth-integrated bins by measuring the Doppler shift in frequency between a transmitted pulse of high-frequency sound and the echo that is reflected from scatterers in the water. If the measurements are performed on a moving boat, then a measure of the boat velocity is needed so the measured ADCP velocity can be co… Show more
