Wilkowske, C.D., 2023, Model Archive Summary for Suspended Sediment Concentration, Sediment Acoustic Surrogate Model 1.0, at USGS gaging station 09379500, San Juan River near Bluff, Utah: U.S. Geological Survey data release, https://doi.org/10.5066/P9C2HG53.

Summary

This model archive summary documents the sediment acoustic index model for suspended-sediment concentration developed to compute 15-minute suspended sediment concentration for the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) station, San Juan River near Bluff, UT (USGS ID: 09379500) from May 2, 2018, onward. This is the first model developed for the site to compute continuous suspended sediment concentration. The methods used follow USGS guidance as referenced in relevant Technical Memoranda and USGS Techniques and Methods, book 3, chap. C5 (TM3-C5, Landers and others, 2016).

Purpose

The data were used to construct a linear regression model using suspended sediment concentration and acoustic backscatter. The model will be used to compute continuous suspended sediment concentration and sediment discharge for USGS stream gage 09379500, San Juan River near Bluff, Utah.
