___Acoustic Doppler current profiler velocity and discharge measurements collected in and near the lock chamber of Brandon Road Lock and Dam, Joliet, Illinois, USA in December 2014
Flow discharges were measured in the Des Plaines River immediately downstream of the Brandon Road Lock at river mile 286 on December 9, 2014 a using Teledyne RDI Rio Grande 1200 kHz acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP). The data were georeferenced with a differential GPS receiver with submeter accuracy. These flow discharge measurements were collected in support of the US Army Corps of Engineers Great Lakes and Mississippi River Interbasin Study (GLMRIS). ADCP data were collected and initially reviewed in the WinRiver II software. Final review of discharge measurements was completed using the QRev discharge computation and review software version 3.35 (Mueller, 2016). The output from QRev includes an XML document...
Water velocities were measured in the lock chamber of Brandon Road Lock on the Des Plaines River at river mile 286 on December 10, 2014 using a Teledyne RDI Rio Grande 600 kHz acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP). The data were georeferenced with a differential GPS receiver with submeter accuracy. These velocity measurements were collected in support of the US Army Corps of Engineers Great Lakes and Mississippi River Interbasin Study (GLMRIS). Data were processed using the Velocity Mapping Toolbox (Parsons and others, 2013) to derive temporally- and spatially-averaged water velocity values. Parsons, D. R., Jackson, P. R., Czuba, J. A., Engel, F. L., Rhoads, B. L., Oberg, K. A., Best, J. L., Mueller, D. S.,...
