DRL - Sediview
DRL-Sediview Version 3 is a powerful 32-bit application for processing, analysis and output of data obtained using Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers (ADCPs) manufactured by RD Instruments Inc of San Diego, CA. Sediview was originally developed (with the assistance of the Proudman Oceanographic Laboratory, UK) only to process acoustic backscatter data to derive estimates of suspended solids concentration, but it has been progressively enhanced to include a wide range of features to analyse and output all data that can be obtained using ADCPs including currents, discharge, solids concentration and solids flux.
Sediview works with the binary raw data files created using RDIs Transect, WinRiver and WavesMon data acquisition software. Both up- and down-looking ADCPs can be accommodated. Data can be obtained rapidly and with high spatial and temporal resolution.
The combination of detailed sediment and current data permits the measurement and analysis of dynamic and large-scale sediment distribution and transport processes with a high degree of confidence. Solids concentrations can be measured with an accuracy comparable with conventional techniques.
The Method has been applied successfully even in locations characterised by variable particle size and by periodic flocculation of fine sediments.
