本文件给出了使用船载声学多普勒流速剖面仪（ADCP）确定明渠流量的指南。它描述了部署ADCP以确定流量的多种方法。虽然在某些情况下，这些测量旨在确定测量站的水位流量关系，但本文件仅涉及流量的单一确定。 ADCP可用于测量各种参数，如水流或溪流、水流速度场和航道测深。作为一个潜在的应用，可以通过应用底部轨迹速度获得推移质流量的概念，而通过应用声学后向散射和声纳方程可以获得悬浮泥沙流量。本文件为通用格式，不包含特定ADCP品牌和型号的具体操作细节。

This document gives guidelines for the use of boat-mounted acoustic Doppler current profilers (ADCPs) for determining flow in open channels. It describes a number of methods of deploying ADCPs to determine flow. Although, in some cases, these measurements are intended to determine the stage-discharge relationship of a gauging station, this document deals only with single determination of discharge. ADCPs can be used to measure a variety of parameters, such as current or stream flow, water velocity fields, and channel bathymetry. As a potential application, an idea of bedload discharge can be obtained applying the bottom track velocity, while suspended sediment flow can be obtained applying the acoustic backscatter and the sonar equation. This document is generic in form and contains no operational details specific to particular ADCP makes and models.
