Benchmarking for using an acoustic Doppler current profiler for bathymetric survey.

This research aims to improve data post-processing from an acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) to obtain additional depth information with a high-quality bathymetric result. To validate the depth, dataset in a control area was used a scaled rod, the RTK (Real-Time Kinematic) positioning technique, and a single beam echo sounder (SBES). The developed post-processing and validation in the control area applied to a small region of a water supply reservoir in Brazil.
