Summary

Twenty one submersible pressure transducers were deployed along the Green River near Jensen Utah in late February 2018. At some locations two transducers were deployed at different elevations to capture the expected range of water level fluctuations, an "upper" and "lower" transducer. Two additional transducers were left out of the water to correct for barometric pressure fluctuations. At the time of deployment, the position of a reference point located on a t-post to which each transducer was mounted was measured with real-time kinematic GPS equipment. In addition, a tape down or the distance between the reference point to the water surface was recorded.The transducers collected a depth measurement every 15 minutes until their recovery [...]

Purpose

The study required collecting water-surface elevation measurements that will be used to calibrate a hydraulic model for of the Green River near Jensen, Utah. The hydraulic model will be used to simulate the drift of razorback sucker larvae and inform sampling strategies for an actual larval release. Simulations of the larval drift will be compared to data collected from the field. The goal of this project is to validate a Lagrangian particle-tracking methodology for predicting the dispersal pathways of larval fish in rivers.
