Development of a non-contact method of measuring river depth from the air
Abstract
Using ordinary means, it is impossible to measure the depth of a rapidly flowing, wave tossed river. Therefore, a way was researched and developed to measure the depth of a river using a subsurface interface radar placed at a height of five to ten meters above the surface of the water.
