Project Summary: The proposed research will result in two main outcomes: 1) an improved capability to determine discharge from large-scale particle image velocimetry (LSPIV) and an assessment of the advantages and limitations of LSPIV compared to hydroacoustic instruments, and 2) a better understanding of how complex surface flow structure is related to mixing processes which impact water quality at local and network scales.
