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. Hydrographic survey data were collected from May 22 through June 10, 2015, using an acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) coupled with an RTK-GNSS rover. The collected hydrographic data consisted of three elements—riverbed elevations derived from bathymetry, depth-averaged streamflow velocity, and instantaneous discharge measurements. Hydrographic data were collected as the boat moved across the river at planned cross sections distributed throughout [...]

Purpose

The hydrographic survey included bathymetry (riverbed elevations), depth-averaged velocities, and two instantaneous discharge measurements. Topographic and hydrographic data were collected along planned lines within the study area to capture the hydraulic and geomorphological characteristics of the river.
