Hydroacoustics Work Group (HaWG)
The Hydroacoustic Work Group (HaWG) provides guidance to the USGS Water Resources Mission Area regarding the support for and development of hydroacoustics instrumentation for use in streamflow, velocity, depth, and other hydraulic and hydrologic measurements.
Science and Products
VMT Hydroacoustics Software
The Velocity Mapping Toolbox (VMT) is a Matlab-based software for processing and visualizing ADCP data collected along transects in rivers or other bodies of water. VMT allows rapid processing, visualization, and analysis of a range of ADCP datasets and includes utilities to export ADCP data to files compatible with ArcGIS, Tecplot, and Google Earth.
QRev 2 and 3
QRev is a USGS-developed MATLAB program that computes the discharge from a moving-boat ADCP measurement using data collected with any of the Teledyne RD Instrument (TRDI) or SonTek bottom tracking ADCPs. QRev improves the consistency and efficiency of processing streamflow measurements.
Extrap Hydroacoustics Software
Tool to assist in selecting an appropriate extrapolation method for ADCP discharge computations.
AreaComp Hydroacoustics Software
AreaComp is a software for computing stage area ratings from hydrologic measurements.
Stationary Moving-Bed Analysis (SMBA) Software
Stationary Moving-Bed Analysis (SMBA) computes the dot product of the bottom track vector onto the unit water vector and determines the moving bed velocity in the upstream direction relative to the water velocity vector. This program is applicable to all stationary moving bed test.
RSMatrix Hydroacoustics Software
The purpose of RSMatrix is to provide an program that can be run outside Matlab and used by non-Matlab owners to read the ADCP transformation matrices from a RiverSurveyor Live generated Matlab file.
Loop Correction Software (LC)
The LC program automates the application of the loop method for correcting discharges measured using bottom track with a moving bed present.
Equal Discharge Increment (EDI) Software
EDI facilitates easy use of an ADCP discharge measurement for computing the locations and associated depth and water velocity for collecting Equal-discharge-increment method sediment and water-quality samples.
QRev 4
QRev is a software package for processing streamflow measurements made using an acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) from a moving-boat. QRev was developed by the USGS to provide for more consistent review of ADCP discharge measurements and to gain efficiency. QRev supports both SonTek and Teledyne RD Instruments ADCPs.
