Tidal Cycle Water Velocity Transect Data for Bushy Park Reservoir, SC (2014, 2015)

Tidal cycle water velocities were measured at transects in the Bushy Park Reservoir using Teledyne Rio Grande 1200 kHz acoustic Doppler current profilers (ADCP). Five transects were measured on August 5, 2014 and November 5, 2014, and two transects were measured on March 26, 2015 and April 23, 2015....

Description
Summary:Tidal cycle water velocities were measured at transects in the Bushy Park Reservoir using Teledyne Rio Grande 1200 kHz acoustic Doppler current profilers (ADCP). Five transects were measured on August 5, 2014 and November 5, 2014, and two transects were measured on March 26, 2015 and April 23, 2015. The data were collected every 30 minutes over a tidal cycle . The data were georeferenced with differential GPS receivers with submeter accuracy. Data were processed using the "Velocity Mapping Toolbox" (Parsons et al., 2013). Any data assigned a value of "­-9999" are bad or missing data and should not be used for analysis. Parsons, D.
