The dataset contains data collected with an acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) for a reach of the Missouri River at Sheepnose Bend downstream from Lexington, Missouri. Velocity data was collected using a TeleDyne Marine RD Instruments (Poway, California) Rio Grande Workhorse 600 kilohertz ADCP on June 4, 2020. Positioning used a Trimble Real-Time-Kinematic Global Navigation Satellite System. This data release consists of one shapefile with depth-averaged velocity magnitude and direction data and 40 text files that contain processed ascii velocity data exported from WinRIver II, Teledyne Marine RD Insturments (Poway, California) ADCP software.

Between the years 2000 and 2016, scientists and technicians from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Columbia Environmental Research Center (CERC) have collected over 400 field-days worth of acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) measurements on the Missouri and Yellowstone Rivers, primarily for the purposes of assessing physical aquatic habitat for the pallid sturgeon. Scientists and technicians collected data using boat-mounted Teledyne Rio Grande ADCPs, which were processed using customized scripting tools and archived in standardized formats. To assess longitudinal variability in depth and velocity distributions along the Missouri River, as well as compare the Missouri River to its unaltered analog, the Yellowstone...
