[Acoustics] ADCP velocity data processing and countour plots

[Jonathon Mann]

Hello,

I am using velocity data from a broadband ADCP to quantify flow fields 
and velocity distributions in a river. I am looking for resources that 
will enable me to more easily produce contour plots of equal velocity 
lines. Transferring data from WinRiver and WinADCP still requires a lot 
of data manipulation before producing XYZ formatted data needed for 
contour plotting. And doing this for many transects can be labor 
intensive. Is anyone on the list also doing this type of work and 
willing to provide some insight on their methods?

Thanks,
