software, however, the ADP operates from a fixed mounted position, stationary
vessel, or platform (such as a SonTek Hydroboard or Tri-hull boat).
This measurement procedure is similar to that used for the SonTek FlowTracker and is in ad-
herence to ISO velocity area measurement techniques. Measurements are made at stationary
positions, usually along a tagline, to obtain a more precise representation of the mean velocity
profile and therefore determine discharge.
Stationary-Measurement can be used in a wide range of applications such as:
•
Discharge Measurements
•
Current Profiling across transects
•
Under Ice Measurements (available in future release)
