Fosness, R.L., 2014, Acoustic Doppler Current Profiling near Myrtle Bend, June 3, 2013, Kootenai River near Bonners Ferry, ID: U.S. Geological Survey data release, https://doi.org/10.5066/P939V55C.

Summary

These data were released prior to the October 1, 2016 effective date for the USGS’s policy dictating the review, approval, and release of scientific data as referenced in USGS Survey Manual Chapter 502.8 Fundamental Science Practices: Review and Approval of Scientific Data for Release. Acoustic doppler current profiling (ADCP) data was collected to describe streamflow characteristics including total streamflow, velocity magnitude and secondary flow structure, and backscatter intensity at 29 cross-sections at the Myrtle Creek Bend on the Kootenai River on June 3, 2013. Each of the 29 cross-sections consisted of 4 transects or bank-to-bank coverage to obtain a representative velocity pattern. The mean daily streamflow was around 35,500 [...]

Purpose

The acoustic doppler current profiling data provides depth-average velocity magnitude and direction data spatially averaged on a 10-meter horizontally spaced grid node. The data is intended to provide biological and morphological streamflow information that may be of use to describing habitat conditions.
