Summary

This field dataset of water-surface elevations, depths, velocities and temperatures was collected in March - May 2015 along the Sacramento River, near Colusa, CA. The dataset contains data from several different sources, including stationary continuously-measuring pressure transducers, high-speed longitudinal profiles of water-surface elevations measured from a power-boat, and cross section and longitudinal profiles of acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) measurements, including water-surface elevations, depths and velocities sampled from a power boat. All location data were determined with real-time kinematic global positioning systems (RTK GPS) with high precisions in both horizontal and vertical dimensions.

Purpose

This dataset was collected for calibration and validation purposes of the 'AirSWOT' campaign of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and CalTech / Jet Propulsion Laboratory. AirSWOT is an airborne-deployment of a Ka-Band interferometric radar instrument similar to the instrument to be used in the upcoming satellite-based NASA SWOT (Surface Water and Ocean Topography) Mission, with the objectives of measuring water-surface parameters from space.
