TELEDYNE - RiverPro (1200kHz)

Operational overview and field deployment

Instrument role in river discharge and flow measurements

TELEDYNE RiverPro (1200 kHz) is designed for hydrodynamic measurements in riverine and shallow water environments where accurate flow profiling and discharge estimation are required. It is typically deployed for mobile or stationary surveys in freshwater systems.

Measurement capabilities and usage context

This instrument uses Acoustic Doppler technology to measure water velocity profiles and bottom tracking information in real time. It is commonly used for river discharge measurements, flow characterization, and hydraulic studies where rapid and accurate data acquisition is required.

Operational environment

The system is intended for use in rivers, channels, and shallow aquatic environments where flow conditions may vary significantly. It is suitable for wading, boat-based, or fixed-point deployments depending on the survey requirements.

System integration role

Within a measurement setup, it functions as a complete field acquisition system integrating current profiling, bottom tracking, and positioning capabilities. It is commonly used alongside GPS and communication modules for real-time data transmission and survey coordination.

Deployment usage

Deployment is adapted to river conditions and survey methodology, including mobile transects or fixed-point measurements. Configuration typically supports continuous acquisition with adaptive sampling based on flow conditions.

Typical users

It is commonly used by hydrologists, environmental agencies, engineering consultants, and research institutions conducting river discharge studies and freshwater hydrodynamic monitoring.
