This child item contains bathymetric measurements of the channel geometry suitable for use in computing cross-sectional area for each field site. Each Field Site is abbreviated in various files in this data release. File and folder names quickly identify which site a particular file or dataset represents. The following abbreviations are used: ACS: Anthracite Creek at Somerset, Colorado, USA BRA: Blue River below Dillon, Colorado, USA (collected in August 2023) BRJ: Blue River below Dillon, Colorado, USA (collected in June 2023) CRG: Colorado River below Glenwood Springs, Colorado, USA CRR: Colorado River above Roaring Fork River at Glenwood Springs, Colorado, USA ERW: Eagle River below Milk Creek near Wolcott,...

This dataset contains data collected during science flights using the drone-based QCam, which is a Doppler (velocity) radar designed to measure surface velocity and compute river discharge when channel bathymetry is known. Five science flights were conducted on four rivers including the Arkansas and South Platte Rivers in Colorado and the Salcha and Tanana Rivers in Alaska. Data are presented in a comma separated values (CSV) file.

Unoccupied Aerial System-mounted image velocimetry and Doppler velocity radar data for computation of river velocity and discharge collected at seven locations in Colorado in 2023
A series of field measurements of surface water velocity derived from video and Doppler velocity radar collected by small unoccupied aircraft systems (sUAS) and portable sensors were collected at seven locations in Colorado, USA, during the summer of 2023. The measurements were utilized to compute surface velocity and discharge using the Probability Concept, Large-Scale Particle Image Velocimetry (LSPIV), and Space-Time Image Velocimetry (STIV) methods. This data release includes the original videos, radar spectra, and ancillary data necessary to produce the surface water velocity and streamflow results. Data are grouped into sections (child items) based on the data type and purpose: Ancillary Scripts: this child...

This child item contains the raw acoustic Doppler velocity profiler (ADCP) measurements collected by U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) hydrographers at each site to validate Image and Radar velocimetry results. The discharge measurements were collected as part of routine and standard streamflow gaging direct measurement workflows at established USGS gaging locations. The zip file included in this release contains folders for each site. Within each folder are the associated raw ADCP files. For all field sites except BRJ, official discharge records are approved and available in the National Water Information System (NWIS) database. For those measurements with NWIS official measurements, the Site Visit Notes report is...

ScienceBase brings together the best information it can find about USGS researchers and offices to show connections to publications, projects, and data. We are still working to improve this process and information is by no means complete. If you don't see everything you know is associated with you, a colleague, or your office, please be patient while we work to connect the dots. Feel free to contact sciencebase@usgs.gov.
