Abstract
Ground‐penetrating radar (syn. water‐penetrating radar, or WPR hereon) has been used previously in the detection and characterisation of riverine scour. This paper presents field data, equipment calibration and processing output results from a new generation of high dynamic range (HDR) radar systems. These provide a new and more sophisticated model of fluvial scour for the study site. The adaptability for deployment on water, wide bandwidth and good quality in raw and processed data, demonstrates the advantages of the system. Data processing and depth calibration are issues in the interpretation of WPR data, which are both discussed. WPR demonstrates the potential for surveying sedimentation where palaeoscour occurred and thus anticipated. This maybe in conjunction with other techniques or where aquatic vegetation, rocky substrates or methane gas bubble release preclude use of sonar.
期刊介绍：
River Research and Applications , previously published as Regulated Rivers: Research and Management (1987-2001), is an international journal dedicated to the promotion of basic and applied scientific research on rivers. The journal publishes original scientific and technical papers on biological, ecological, geomorphological, hydrological, engineering and geographical aspects related to rivers in both the developed and developing world. Papers showing how basic studies and new science can be of use in applied problems associated with river management, regulation and restoration are encouraged as is interdisciplinary research concerned directly or indirectly with river management problems.
