What will I learn?
This course builds hands-on skills for planning and carrying out precise harbour and channel flow surveys. You'll grasp hydrodynamic principles, choose and set up ADCPs and current meters, plan survey lines, and handle safe operations. Next, handle data processing, compute discharge rates, assess uncertainties, and deliver straightforward reports aiding navigation, dredging, and tidal flow evaluations.
Elevify advantages
Develop skills
- Design flow surveys: Plan brief, quality ADCP and mooring setups.
- Process ADCP data: Cleanse, check quality, and combine velocity profiles into discharge.
- Select instruments: Choose meters and sensors fitting harbour depths, tides, and bed roughness.
