Kuparuk River 1983 summer discharge calculated from stage height.

Stream temperature and discharge each summer, water temperature and stream discharge are determined for the Kuparuk River. In many years, temperature and stream height were recorded manually each day. In recent years, data loggers have measured stream temperature and stream height at regular intervals. The Kuparuk River data is maintained by Dough Kane on the Water and Environmental Research Center at UAF (http://www.uaf.edu/water/projects/NorthSlope/upper_kuparuk/uk_river/uk_river.html) Stream height is converted into stream discharge based on a rating curve calculated from manual discharge measurements throughout the season. The principal investigator in charge of the temperature and discharge measurements is Dr. Breck Bowden.本数据集包含库帕鲁克河（Kuparuk River）每年夏季的河水温度与径流量数据。过往多年中，研究人员每日人工记录河水温度与水位数据；近年则采用数据记录仪（data logger）定期采集河水温度与水位信息。库帕鲁克河数据集由阿拉斯加大学费尔班克斯分校（University of Alaska Fairbanks，简称UAF）下属水与环境研究中心的道格·凯恩（Dough Kane）负责维护，数据源官方链接为：http://www.uaf.edu/water/projects/NorthSlope/upper_kuparuk/uk_river/uk_river.html。研究人员基于全观测季内人工径流量测量结果拟合得到的水位流量关系曲线（rating curve），将实测水位转换为对应径流量。负责本次温度与径流量测量工作的首席研究员为布雷克·鲍登博士（Dr. Breck Bowden）。
