Station Measurement (Pressure Sensor) 8.3.4
Station Measurement is performed at each station that was created from the
subdivision of the measurements section into number of stations. The station
measurement consists of collecting a number of different parameters and variables
required for the Discharge Calculation Methods. Each station is unique with respect to
the selection of the location, width between adjacent stations, velocity method, averaging
interval used for velocity measurements and quality control parameters.
