Surveying of lake on Plateau using a portable TS-l00 AUV

Aiming at the scientific research of lakes on the Tibetan Plateau, tow portable AUVs (Autonomous Underwater Vehicle) TS-100 were used to survey Karakul Lake. The lakebed terrain of Karakul was mapped, and the water profile parameters from inlet to outlet of the lake were observed continuously by a multiparameter sonde. In this paper, the TS-100 AUV is introduced firstly, and then describe the deployment of this vehicle on the lake. Finally, a method of original survey data processing is proposed based on the Kriging method, a 3D model of the lake was built, and the lake capacity was calculated by using this method.
