Kuparuk River 2012 summer temperature and discharge calculated from stage height.

Water temperature and stream discharge were 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. A rating curve was developed to calculate continuous discharge from stage height. Temperature was also measured on an hourly basis. Stage height was measured on the Kuparuk about 1 km above the Dalton Highway crossing.

本数据集针对库帕鲁克河（Kuparuk River）的水温和河流径流量展开测定。多年来，研究人员每日以人工方式记录水温和水位数据；近年来，则借助数据记录仪（data loggers）按固定间隔采集水温和水位信息。研究人员构建了水位流量关系曲线（rating curve），可通过水位数据推算得到连续径流量。此外，水温亦以每小时一次的频次开展测定。水位数据的采集点位设于库帕鲁克河上，距离道尔顿公路（Dalton Highway）跨河点约1公里处。
