Summary

This model archive summary documents the suspended-sediment concentration (SSC) model developed to estimate 15-minute SSC at Anthracite Creek above Mouth near Somerset, U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) site number 09132095. The methods used follow USGS guidance as referenced in relevant Office of Surface Water Technical Memorandum (TM) 2016.07 and Office of Water Quality TM 2016.10, USGS Techniques and Methods, book 3, chap. C5 (Landers and others, 2016), and USGS Techniques and Methods, book 3, chap. C4 (Rasmussen and others, 2009). A total of 399 suspended-sediment samples were collected during the calibration period (43 cross-section and 356 single-station samples). Forty-one of these samples with associated streamflow and turbidity [...]
