Fox, T.J., 2021, ArcGIS Addin: Receiver Sequencing Tool: U.S. Geological Survey data release, https://doi.org/10.5066/P9OI2PEM.
Summary
This ArcGIS Add-In tool assigns telemetry receivers a “river address,” with the National Hydrography Dataset (NHD) flowlines providing the river name (analogous to a street name in a postal address) and a distance along flowline (the house number in a postal address). Using this information, it is possible to sequence receivers along a flowline. Once sequenced, receiver data can then be analyzed to identify where receivers are being bypassed by receiver tags, or if there are instances of improbable tag movement between receivers.
