Optical and sediment measurements collected from the Colorado River, near Parshall, Colorado, June 13, 2019

To support an investigation of the feasibility of measuring river bathymetry using remotely sensed data acquired from a small unmanned aircraft system (sUAS), optical and sediment measurements were collected from the Colorado River near Parshall, CO on June 13, 2019. Optical measurements were collected with a WET Labs ECO which measures the turbidity and concentration of colored dissolved organic matter (CDOM) and chlorophyll. Absorption and attenuation coefficients were collected with a WET Labs ac-s instrument. The concentration and mean size of suspended sediment were collected with a LIST 100X sensor.
