ALFA Field Testing of a Dual Sonar System for Detecting Woody Debris

Published by University of Alaska Fairbanks | Department of Energy | Catalog Last Checked: August 03, 2026 at 01:03 AM | Dataset Last Updated: May 23, 2022 at 03:21 PM
Field testing of a dual sonar system for detecting woody debris in natural settings was conducted at the Tanana River Test Site (TRTS) in Nenana, AK between 8/26 and 9/23, 2015. The TRTS is approximately 65 miles south of Fairbanks and is well suited for testing hydrokinetic energy generation technologies and environmental monitoring technologies such as the dual sonar system used here in realistic settings.
