Resource Abstract:
- description: On August 31, 2015, U.S. Geological Survey Illinois Water Science Center staff deployed a 2000 kHz side-looking
acoustic Doppler velocity meter (ADVM) in the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal (CSSC) at the Electric Dispersal Barrier System
(EDBS). These data were collected as a fully loaded commercial barge tow traversed the EDBS and passed the ADVM three times,
and as several smaller vessels and an unloaded barge tow passed the ADVM. The ADVM was mounted to a rigid 2-inch PVC pipe
in compliance with U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) operational safety protocols for working in or near the EDBS. The
pipe with ADVM was lowered 4.5 feet below the water surface on the west (right) bank of the canal at a location approximately
477 feet upstream of the Romeo Road (135th Street) bridge (41.642050, -88.060383). The pipe was mounted to the walkway guard
rail in a vertical orientation. An upstream and downstream guide line were used to provide additional tension to prevent movement
or vibration on the PVC pipe. In this deployment configuration, the ADVM was profiling from the right wall of the canal out
towards the center of the channel. ADVM data were viewed in real-time on a laptop computer during the deployment and logged
simultaneously to the internal memory of the ADVM. The ADVM data were downloaded from the ADVM to a laptop computer while
on site and reviewed briefly while in the field. Upon return to the USGS Illinois Water Science Center the ADVM data were
downloaded from the field laptop and reviewed following standard USGS data quality assurance protocols.; abstract: On August
