Explore the fringes of the Greenland Ice Sheet and watch as glaciers melt into an intricate network of turquoise lakes and streams, with water cascading into the ocean or disappearing into sinkhole-like moulins. Featuring the SonTek-M9 ADCP mounted on a HydroBoard II, this video showcases the precision and stability of the equipment as it navigates the rushing waters of Rio Behar at peak flow.

About us
SonTek, founded in 1992 and advancing environmental science in over 100 countries, manufactures affordable, reliable acoustic Doppler instrumentation for water velocity measurement in oceans, rivers, lakes, harbors, estuaries, and laboratories. SonTek is headquartered in San Diego, California, and is a division of YSI Inc., a Xylem company that provides monitoring and data collection instrumentation to global water quality, water quantity, and aquaculture markets. Simply put, our instruments use sound waves to tell you how fast water is moving, where it is moving, and even if it is not moving at all. Our customers are scientists, engineers, hydrologists, research associates, water resource planners and anyone that needs to collect velocity (speed) data in every kind of body of water imaginable. SonTek solutions improve the measurement of water movement and associated parameters in coastal and inland areas by: (1) simplifying operations to reduce time and labor costs, (2) employing advanced technologies that provide consistent and continuous high-quality results, and (3) enhancing capabilities to enable data collection in areas previously thought immeasurable. Our products could be as easily found in a university laboratory as they could in the deep ocean, along the coast, or in a river, lake, or stream. From the depths of the Pacific Ocean, to the Amazon River, to the small creek in your backyard, there are SonTek/YSI instruments hard at work every day.

Monitoring of dynamic flow conditions non-contact flow gauging solution (Hutley et al., 2022) Continuous flow monitoring at monitoring sites governed by unsteady flow or variable backwater conditions are complex and can be extremely costly. Most if not all Hydrometric Data Management Systems can only develop traditional stage discharge ratings and alternative techniques are required for continuous flow monitoring at sites governed by dynamic flow conditions. The ability to perform stream flow measurements and develop stage-discharge ratings in real-time allows the non-contact flow gauging solution to accurately map dynamic flow conditions present at these flow monitoring sites. #computervision #velocity #discharge #ratings #waterresources #watermanagement #waterconservation #watersecurity #waterinfrastructure #wastewatertreatment #wastewatersolutions #hydrology #floodmanagement #waterquality #irrigation #irrigationsystems #hydrographic #hydrometry #waterquality #mining #railway

Great to have the opportunity to collect SonTek - a Xylem Brand Castaway #CTD data at numerous locations in the spectacular Samarinvagen, with the glacier Samarinbreen looming. Thank you to Mathieu Tsingrilaras from PONANT Le Commandant Charcot for always cheerfully enabling our scientific investigations! 🙂🙏 #Arctic #research #oceanography #exploretoinspire #PONANTxTheExplorersClub #TECxPONANT #PONANT #TheExplorersClub #ExplorersClub

Great field day yesterday in the beautiful state of Montana! Conducted a SonTek RS5 training for the Montana Bureau of Mines and Geology. Was awesome to see the groups enthusiasm and quick learning curve for utilizing the RS5. Very user-friendly software and lightweight to carry around and setup!
