Abstract: Hydrodynamics in rivers, estuaries and coastal seas are complex to model, due to phenomena itself and available data (e.g. water levels, velocities, fluxes) for calibration and boundary conditions. ADCP measurements are an ideal technique to determine velocity profiles also for wide irregular shaped cross sections. Thus, a flexible tool for accurate comparison of ADCP measurements with numerical model results in time/space domain is needed. The methodology has to be embedded in a generic software approach to make measurements from different devices comparable with results from different models. Necessary functionality was successfully implemented in the object oriented software application DATATOOL©. Applicability is illustrated for MIKE3® model results compared with measurements from ADCP.
