Determination of localized hydrological disturbance from ADV frame in measuring volume

Hi,

I have a fix Vector sitting inside a tripod frame lander with rather thick legs (about 30 cm x 10 cm) that are about 70 cm from the measuring volume. I would like to determine if the legs are creating any localized hydrological disturbance when the current switches and they are upstream of the ADV.

I can determine the current direction from QuickWave software for every 8.5min and I know the ADV heading, so I thought about modeling the velocity flow field, but I was hoping there might be an easier way. Any ideas?

Dear Andrew

Maybe you could caluclate a running value for velocity standard deviation?  I would think that interference from one of the lander legs would coincide with increased turbulent intensity?
