Summary of the characteristics of commercial tows passing through the Electrical Dispersal Barrier System on the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal at Romeoville, Illinois, October 1, 2018, to July 3, 2019

Note: this data release has been deprecated. Please see new data release here: https://doi.org/10.5066/P1R9WSDH. A motion-activated video camera documented the passage of commercial tows through the Electric Dispersal Barrier System (EDBS) on the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal at Romeoville, Illinois, over the period October 1, 2018, to July 3, 2019. Videos were manually screened and analyzed to extract tow characteristics including date and time of video recording, number and configuration of barges, loading of barges (loaded, unloaded, or mixed), direction of travel, and bow type (rake or box). Only commercial vessels were logged and no identifying data about the tow vessels were maintained. All videos triggered...

Water temperature and specific conductance in the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal near the Electrical Dispersal Barrier System at Romeoville, Illinois, October 1, 2018, to September 30, 2019

Note: this data release has been deprecated. Please see new data release here: https://doi.org/10.5066/P1R9WSDH. The water temperature in degrees Celsius and specific conductance data in microsiemens per centimeter at 25 degrees Celsius (TC), measured at U.S. Geological Survey streamgage 05536995, located at Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal near the Electrical Dispersal Barrier System in Romeoville, Illinois. The TC data are measured every five-minutes at four gage height levels above the gage datum (P1 = 21 feet, P2 = 17 feet, P3 = 13 feet, P4 = 9 feet). The gage datum is 551.76 feet above the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD88). Daily mean and five-minutes water temperature and specific conductance...

Summary of the characteristics of near-surface flow reversals at the Electrical Dispersal Barrier System on the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal at Romeoville, Illinois, October 1, 2018, to September 30, 2019

Note: this data release has been deprecated. Please see new data release here: https://doi.org/10.5066/P1R9WSDH. This dataset contains a summary of the characteristics of near-surface flow reversals at the Electrical Dispersal Barrier System (EDBS) on the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal at Romeoville, Illinois during Water Year 2018 (October 1, 2018, to September 30, 2019). Water velocity near the water surface is measured on a five-minute sampling interval in the EDBS using surface velocity radar at nine measurement cells on a cross section near U.S. Geological Survey streamgage 05536995 (Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal at Romeoville, Illinois). Flow reversal events are analyzed for each individual cell as well...
