Summary

ADCP data were collected on May 22, 2015 immediately downstream of Starved Rock Lock and Dam near Utica, IL.The data were collected as reciprocal pairs of measurements at cross-sections, and as longitudinal lines roughly along the centerline of the channel. The data are provided in: (1) a zipped folder containing classic ascii output files exported from WinRiverII software, and a README text file indicating which files are reciprocal pairs (2) a zipped folder containing KML files for each transect.

Purpose

The data were collected as part of the overall GLRI velocity mapping project for the Illinois River. The velocity data were used to estimate shear stress for input into the FluEgg model for simulation of Asian carp egg transport and dispersal.
