Characteristics of Seasonality on 3D Velocity and Bathymetry Profiles in Red River of the North
Publication: World Environmental and Water Resources Congress 2022
ABSTRACT
There are great concerns that current and future seasonal temperature changes impact water depth and velocity in rivers in cold-weather regions. This paper presents an analysis of seasonal changes, velocity, and depth at Red River station near Grand Forks, North Dakota. The focus is on seasonal velocity and bathymetry variability in two different seasons, summer and fall, using a novel autonomous surface vehicle (ASV) named HYCAT. HYCAT is a multiparameter, portable survey ASV designed specifically to give surveyors access to data in remote areas that have previously been difficult, expensive, or impossible to acquire. The HYCAT autonomous surface vehicle generates high-resolution water quality, bathymetry, and flow data at once along the river. Flow measurements in rivers such as the Red River are challenging due to the technical difficulties associated with large ranges in water temperature and floating ice in spring melt period. This paper presents analyses of velocity and depth in river flow under various temperature conditions in different seasons. To achieve these goals, the velocity and bathymetry data in two distinct seasons of summer and fall were collected using a Sontek M9 device mounted on HYCAT.
