Excerpt
Background Information: The Sutron 8200 digital acoustic water level gauge has been developed to replace the traditional float/stilling well ADR gauges which were used to support the water level data collection efforts for hydro operations. Figure 1 describes the main components of the new gauge. The following lists the significant attributes of the gauge: Water level measurements are determined by an air-acoustic water level sensor, Aquatrak. This sensor provides digitally averaged water level measurements which provide improved accuracy over the float gauge. Each six minute measurement represents a three minute average of water level samples and includes data quality information such as standard deviation along with the average water level. The acoustic sensor incorporates a self-calibrating measurement technique which provides excellent long term stability which eliminates the need for gauge staff comparisons. In addition, the sensor can be leveled to local benchmarks which allows the water level measurements to be corrected to the local tidal datum...
