Stream gaging in Puerto Rico after Tropical Storm Karen: tethered ADCP

Detailed Description

Stream gaging in Puerto Rico after Tropical Storm Karen: tethered ADCP – A tethered acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) is pulled through a cross section of Rio de La Plata near Toa Alta, Puerto Rico, September 25, 2019. Hydrologic technicians with the Caribbean-Florida Water Science Center visited multiple USGS stream gage sites to make high flow measurements after Tropical Storm Karen passed the island September 24.
