“…Wading rod ADV Figure 5. An acoustic Doppler velocimeter (ADV) mounted on a wading rod (Olson and Norris, 2007).…”

Surface-water salinity in the Gunnison River Basin, Colorado, water years 1989 through 2007

“…The two are related using the relation between periodic measurements of streamflow and the corresponding stage, the streamflow-stage relation (Olson and Norris, 2005). Streamflow is estimated by applying the streamflow-stage relation to the stage values recorded at 15-minute intervals at each streamflow-gaging station.…”

Calibration of satellite measurements of river discharge using a global hydrology model

“…Empirical, ''rating curves'' that compare stage to discharge are thereby developed. Conventional groundbased discharge values based on stage-discharge rating curves have an accuracy of 5-10% (Hirsch and Costa, 2004;Olson and Norris, 2007;Rantz et al 1982;Schmidt, 2002).…”
