Water-surface elevation and temperature data collected for the NASA/JPL AirSWOT Mission on the Sacramento River, near Colusa, CA, for the period March – May 2015

This dataset is one part of a larger field dataset collected during March - May 2015 along the Sacramento River, near Colusa, CA. This particular dataset contains water-surface elevation and temperature data from approximately 10 pressure transducers spaced approximately every few kilometers along the Sacramento River upstream of Colusa, CA. The locations of the transducers were determined with RTK GPS, with high precisions in both horizontal and vertical dimensions. The water-surface elevations were determined from the transducer pressure readings by using the nearest deployed barometric transducer, typically located within less than 10 kilometers.
