What will I learn?
Acquire practical skills for accurate harbor and channel water flow surveys. Master hydrodynamic principles, ADCP and current meter selection and deployment, transect design, safe logistics, data processing, discharge computation, uncertainty analysis, and result presentation for navigation, dredging, and tidal assessments.
Elevify advantages
Develop skills
- Design flow surveys: Plan short, high-quality ADCP and mooring deployments.
- Process ADCP data: Clean, QA/QC, and integrate velocity profiles to discharge.
- Select instruments: Match meters and sensors to harbor depth, tides, and roughness.
- Analyze harbor hydraulics: Interpret tidal currents, shear, and sediment impacts.
- Report results: Deliver clear flow tables, plots, uncertainties, and recommendations.
