Summary

Kootenai river hydraulic conditions were simulated using the iRIC FaSTMECH two-dimensional hydraulic flow model (Nelson, 2003). In addition to this study, FaSTMECH 2D flow models have been developed for numerous Kootenai River studies dating back to 2005. The methods used to develop, calibrate, and simulate FaSTMECH 2D flow models are described at length in multiple previous studies (Fosness and Dudunake, in press; Barton and others, 2005; Barton and others, 2007; Logan and others, 2011; McDonald and others, 2016; McDonald and Nelson, 2018; McDonald and Nelson, 2020). Model simulations were combined with white sturgeon telemetry data to explain fish positions with respect to selected depths and depth-averaged velocity.

Purpose

This data release presents the model archive for the two-dimensional iRIC FaSTMECH model used for the larger study, "Kootenai River White Sturgeon Fine-Scale Habitat Selection and Preference, Kootenai River near Bonners Ferry, ID". Because the model was simulated at an hourly time-step, the time-series data will result in 2,208 simulations and a file size of about 250Gb. Because the output files are so large, they were not included in this data release. All data files required to run the time-series and quality assurance (calibration and verification) simulations are included in this data release. The model template contains all model information required to run the simulations (geographic data and grid development). Calculation condition data files (.cgn) are available for 1. time-series and 2. quality assurance simulations. Measured values (.csv) data files are available for quality control to quantify model accuracy.

Rights

The authors of these data request that data users contact them regarding intended use and to assist with understanding limitations and interpretation. Unless otherwise stated, all data, metadata and related materials are considered to satisfy the quality standards relative to the purpose for which the data were collected. Although these data and associated metadata have been reviewed for accuracy and completeness and approved for release by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), no warranty expressed or implied is made regarding the display or utility of the data for other purposes, nor on all computer systems, nor shall the act of distribution constitute any such warranty.
