In this video segment, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), Lower Mississippi Gulf Water Science Center (LMGWSC) scientists give a detailed description of how the USGS uses Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers, (ADCP) to measure flow along the lower Mississippi River.
Monitoring Suspended Sediment and Flow along the Mississippi River: Episode 3B
Detailed Description
(Episode 3, Part B) In this video segment, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), Lower Mississippi Gulf Water Science Center (LMGWSC) scientists give a detailed description of how the USGS deploys heavy samplers to collect discrete water samples for suspended sediment, and bed material on large rivers like the Mississippi River. Two locations are visited: Vicksburg, Mississippi, and Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Four different samplers are demonstrated: US D-99, US D-96, US P-6-200, and the US BM-54. Detailed descriptions of the mechanics of bag-type samplers, and point samplers are discussed, and how these samplers are used by the USGS to collect depth integrated water samples along the lower Mississippi River.
Created as part of the Memorandum of Understanding between the USGS and the National Water Agency and Geological Survey of Brazil to support sediment and flow monitoring practices in Brazil.

Monitoring Suspended Sediment and Flow along the Mississippi River: Bonus Episode
In this video segment, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), Lower Mississippi Gulf Water Science Center (LMGWSC) scientists give a preview of how the USGS is currently working to design a new generation large river sampler. This new sampler will incorporate all functions of previously developed USGS depth and point samplers.
