Abstract: In this paper we describe a study conducted to assess the availability of practical, state-of-the-art instrumentation that might be applied to NYPA's and OH's ice management activities on the upper Niagara River. The primary objective of the study is to identify and characterize instrumentation which could improve the monitoring of ice discharge. The study will recommend proven equipment and instruments for field trials and will describe any monitoring instrumentation which might provide useful information for operations. Although the study is not yet complete, a preliminary list of the instruments and equipment being evaluated is given. Descriptions of the strengths and weaknesses of each instrument are also provided.
