Summary

A dye tracer study was completed on the lower Sandusky River between July 11-13, 2017, during a confirmed Grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) spawning event. The data contained in this data release include time series of dye concentration at fixed stations downstream of the injection site and three-dimensional water-velocity data and discharge measurements collected using acoustic Doppler current profilers (ADCPs) deployed from two U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) survey boats stationed on the river during the study. At 8:54 am Eastern Standard Time on July 11, 2017, 13.5 liters of Rhodamine WT dye in a 20-percent solution was injected into the Sandusky River at the Tiffin Road bridge crossing (41.327110, -83.130339). The dye was injected [...]

Purpose

These data were collected as part of a dye tracer study to validate the Fluvial Egg Drift Simulator (FluEgg) (Garcia and others, 2013).
