Summary

A Bell 407 helicopter with a gyro-stabilized gimbal was used to collect aerial videos of Upper Colorado River Integrated Water Science basin riverine study sites on June 13, 2022. Videos were collected during two flights on June 13, 2022 and focused on study sites along the Colorado River near Windy Gap. Photogrammetry techniques were used with the natural color video images to produce an orthomosaic map of the study reach.

Purpose

Helicopter-based videos were collected to support a USGS Next Generation Water Observing System (NGWOS) research project in the Colorado River basin. The project aims to evaluate the potential to estimate river surface flow velocities from aerial imagery. Orthomosaic maps can be used to map river condition at the time of aerial surveys.
