Aransas Channel 
Corpus Christi Bay Freshwater Inflow Survey, May 5 - 7, 2000

Transect on the Aransas Channel, Northwest of the confluence of the Aransas Channel, Corpus Chrisit Channel
and the Lydia Ann Channel, east to west.

Velocity data was measured in real-time with an Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP)

The velocity data presented below was chosen from three locations along each transect:
1) The Center (Ctr), at the midway point of the transect;
2) The Left, or East Bank (Lef), at the point where the distance is equal to one quarter of 
the entire transect distance; 
3) The Right Bank, or West Bank (Rig), at the point where the distance is equal to three 
quarters of the entire transect distance.


Flow magnitude and direction are displayed for each transect location (Ctr, Lef, and Rig)
at several depths:
V_.10 = flow magnitude (ft/s) and direction (degrees) at 1/10 of the total depth below the surface.
V_.25 = flow magnitude (ft/s) and direction (degrees) at 1/4 of the total depth below the surface.
V_.30 = flow magnitude (ft/s) and direction (degrees) at 3/10 of the total depth below the surface.
V_.50 = flow magnitude (ft/s) and direction (degrees) at 1/2 of the total depth below the surface.
V_.65 = flow magnitude (ft/s) and direction (degrees) at 65% of the total depth below the surface.
V_.70 = flow magnitude (ft/s) and direction (degrees) at 7/10 of the total depth below the surface.
V_.75 = flow magnitude (ft/s) and direction (degrees) at 3/4 of the total depth below the surface.
V_.80 = flow magnitude (ft/s) and direction (degrees) at 8/10 of the total depth below the surface.

Date = yymmdd, Time = hhmm, TDep = total depth in feet at one location (Ctr, Lef, or Rig)
along the transect, Tot.Flow = total flow over the entire transect in cubic
feet per second.


Values of -99 and -9.99 indicate unavailable data.
