Bankside Review | Chapter 6 | Guide to Collecting Discharge Data with a SonTek ADCP
After collecting discharge data with your ADCP, it's time for a vital bankside review. Remember, spend at least 12 minutes on the water to ensure you have gathered enough data for your discharge measurement. Don't skip the moving bed test, especially when you’re at a new site. Follow standard procedures like temperature checks, compass calibration, and thoughtful track reference choices.
Also, remember your export needs for tools like QRev to process data externally. These steps ensure accurate data and smooth processing for valuable hydrological insights. Stay focused during your bankside review to get the most out of your ADCP measurements, and be equipped to make corrections in the field to ensure usable data.
