Water velocities and discharge were measured in the lock chamber and immediately downstream of Brandon Road Lock on the Des Plaines River at river mile 286 on December 9-10, 2014 using Teledyne RDI Rio Grande 600 and 1200 kHz acoustic Doppler current profilers (ADCP). The data were georeferenced with a differential GPS receiver with submeter accuracy. These ADCP measurements were collected in support of the US Army Corps of Engineers Great Lakes and Mississippi River Interbasin Study (GLMRIS). Velocity measurements were processed using the Velocity Mapping Toolbox (Parsons and others, 2013) to derive temporally- and spatially-averaged water velocity values. Discharge measurements were processed with the QRev discharge...

This child item contains the Mathworks Matlab mat-file outputs from the scripts described in the Ancillary Scripts child item. Each file contains the results for a particular field site. See the FGDC metadata Process Steps section for more information about opening these files. The mat-files included here have a standard set of output variables and include a variable named "zzVariableDescriptions" in each mat-file which describes the contents of the file. The following variables and descriptions are included in each mat-file (extracted from the "zzVariableDescriptions" variable): calibration_distance: The distance between calibration points in meters. calibration_points: Pixel coordinates of the calibration points....

This child item contains Mathworks MATLAB script files which reproduce the processing steps for each dataset. The following scripts are included: MATLAB scripts to process the images extracted from sUAS videos for each site. See the FGDC metadata Data Quality Section Process Step 1 for details on these scripts: ACR_PIVLab_Script.m AFR_PIVLab_Script.m CCC_PIVLab_Script.m CMC_PIVLab_Script.m GLR_PIVLab_Script.m RMC_PIVLab_Script.m SMC_PIVLab_Script.m WMD_PIVLab_Script.m MATLAB scripts to post process the data into the form supplied in this data release. See the FGDC metadata Data Quality Section Process Steps 2 and 3 for details on these scripts: CalibrateData.m CreatePlots.m Each Field Site is abbreviated in...

This child item contains images associated with each field site showing example output of PIV results as processed using the "CreatePlots.m" script file found in the Ancillary Scripts child item of this data release. Each Field Site is abbreviated in various files in this data release. File and folder names are used to quickly identify which site a particular file or dataset represents. The following abbreviations are used: ACR: Androscoggin River, Auburn, Maine, USA AFR: Agua Fria River, near Rock Springs, Arizona, USA CCC: Coachella Canal above All-American Canal Diversion, California, USA CMC: Cochiti East Side Main Channel, near Cochiti, New Mexico, USA GLR: Gila River near Dome, Arizona, USA RMC: Reservation...

ScienceBase brings together the best information it can find about USGS researchers and offices to show connections to publications, projects, and data. We are still working to improve this process and information is by no means complete. If you don't see everything you know is associated with you, a colleague, or your office, please be patient while we work to connect the dots. Feel free to contact sciencebase@usgs.gov.
