Summary

Four dams on the Klamath River that created Iron Gate Reservoir and Copco Lake in Siskiyou County, California, and John C. Boyle Reservoir, in Klamath County, Oregon, are scheduled for removal in early 2024. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) will deploy high-range turbidity sensors to compute continuous suspended sediment concentration (SSC) before, during, and following the scheduled dam removals. SSCs in the Klamath River are expected to be extreme during the dam removal process because of mobilization of fine-grained sediments that settled in the upstream reservoirs. Prior to dam removal, extreme SSC values were rare and only likely to occur during an extreme event. The inability to observe extreme SSC values prior to dam removal [...]

Purpose

These data were collected to establish the turbidity-suspended sediment relation for Analite Observator NEP-5000 180 degree backscatter sensors and to make qualitative comparisons to other turbidity sensors.
