[Acoustics] Looking for reports and papers in different index-velocity rating procedures

[Michael R Simpson]

Some of the HAWG members have published reports on index velocity rating 
development. One that comes to mind readily is "Feasibility of Acoustic 
Doppler Velocity Meters for the Production of Discharge Records from U.S. 
Geological Survey Streamflow-Gaging Stations" by Morlock , Nguyen, and 
Ross.  I've also published a paper on index velocity measurement error 
that I would be happy to send you (although it doesn't specifically 
address side-looking Doppler flow meters).  Rating development is much the 
same for UVM systems, side-lookers, as well as up-looker deployments.

We have been producing record from many USGS streamflow measurement sites 
(using the equipment you describe) for several years now.  The techniques 
are fairly well established.  Sometimes a visit can more helpful if one 
wishes to fully understand the art of equipment selection, site 
reconnaissance, and  the discharge measurement equipment that is necessary 
to provide the data quality needed for proper calibration of Doppler index 
velocity equipment.  If you would like to visit our office  (and perhaps 
some of our sites) or see how we develop index velocity ratings in 
northern California, please give me a call.

I hope some of the list members can point me to some reports or papers 
on different index-velocity rating procedures.

I have a copy of the USGS Water-Resources Investigations Report 01-4157 
that describes the development and application of multiple regression 
equation. Any other information anyone has would be appreciated. It can 
be emailed to my email address below.

I am particularly interested in documented cases of the SonTek Argonaut 
SL.

Thank
Beau
