Legleiter, C.J., Kinzel, P.J., and Overstreet, B.T, 2018, Hyperspectral image data and field measurements used for bathymetric mapping of the Deschutes River near Bend, OR: U.S. Geological Survey data release, https://doi.org/10.5066/F7HT2N96.
Summary
The U.S. Geological Survey acquired hyperspectral image data and various field measurements from a reach of the Deschutes River near Bend, OR, between Benham Falls and Dillon Falls July 26-29, 2016, to support research on remote sensing of river discharge. This parent data release includes links to child pages for the following data sets: 1) hyperspectral image data; 2) ground-based bathymetric survey data obtained with a multi-beam echo sounder; 3) reflectance spectra and depth measurements acquired from a raft; and 4) an irradiance profile used to characterize attenuation of light by the water column. Please refer to the individual child pages for further detail about each data set. Overall, these data were used to develop improved [...]

Purpose
The various data sets comprising this data release were used to develop improved methods of estimating water depth from passive optical image data or field spectra. This type of bathymetric information could be incorporated into techniques for measuring river discharge from remotely sensed data.
