I want to investigate water current and wave of the lake using Acoustic Doppler current profilers (ADCPs) . Please provide about how to use and for how long it deployed on the lake for effective results. Can I deployed for less than one day?
Depending on the types of data you want to collect, ADCP can be deployed on the bottom of the lake (at a site), looking up, or on a moving boat, looking down. You may check the website of the US Geological Survey about ADCP applications.
