Acoustic Doppler Current Profiling near Shorty's Island, June 1, 2012, Kootenai River near Bonners Ferry, ID

These data were released prior to the October 1, 2016 effective date for the USGS’s policy dictating the review, approval, and release of scientific data as referenced in USGS Survey Manual Chapter 502.8 Fundamental Science Practices: Review and Approval of Scientific Data for Release. An Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) was used to survey streamflow characteristics including total streamflow, velocity magnitude and secondary flow structure, and backscatter intensity at 29 cross-sections at the Myrtle Creek Bend on the Kootenai River on June 1, 2012. Each of the 29 cross-sections consisted of 4 transects or bank-to-bank coverage to obtain a representative velocity pattern. The mean daily streamflow was around 35,000 cubic [...]

本数据集发布于2016年10月1日之前，彼时美国地质调查局（United States Geological Survey，USGS）规范科学数据审核、批准与发布的政策尚未生效，该政策详见《USGS勘测手册第502.8章：基础科学实践：科学数据发布的审核与批准》。2012年6月1日，研究团队采用声学多普勒流速剖面仪（Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler，ADCP）对库特内河（Kootenai River）默特尔河弯区域的29个断面开展水文勘测，获取的水文特征包括总径流量、流速幅值与次生流结构，以及背散射强度。29个断面中的每一个均设置了4条测线（或覆盖全河道岸到岸范围），以获取具有代表性的流速分布特征。当日平均径流量约为35000立方[……]
