In 2011-12, the U.S. Geological Survey conducted a study of the and hydrogeomorphic history and hydrodynamic characteristics of the lower 5 kilometers of the Sheboygan River, a tributary to Lake Michigan in eastern Wisconsin. The hydrogeomorphic history and stability of an ecologically important island complex in the Sheboygan River, the Wildwood Islands, was studied to determine the potential effects of inundation of island surfaces on riparian vegetation and potential areas of erosion and deposition. A two-dimensional (2D) channel hydraulics model was developed for simulating the interaction of riverine flows with varying lake levels and seiche effects. This dataset contains model input and output associated with...

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the State of Hawaiʻi Department of Transportation, estimated flood magnitudes for the 50-, 20-, 10-, 4-, 2-, 1-, 0.5-, and 0.2-percent annual exceedance probabilities (AEP) for unregulated streamgages in Kauaʻi, Oʻahu, Molokaʻi, Maui, and Hawaiʻi, State of Hawaiʻi, using data through water year 2020. Regression equations which can be used to estimate flood magnitude and associated frequency at ungaged streams were developed. The methods and results of the study are published in a separate report (https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20235014). This data release includes peak-flow, specification, output, and export files from version 7.3 of USGS PeakFQ software (Veilleux...

Temperature and salinity are two key estuarine habitat variables. Understanding how these variables are distributed around the bay leads to a better understanding of habitat types and distribution in the Bay. Additionally, understanding the distribution of salinity in the Bay allows us to better understand the transport processes that drive material transport and supply throughout the Bay. Time series of water temperature and specific conductance (salinity is calculated from conductivity and water temperature) are needed (1) to improve our understanding of the hydrodynamics of the estuary (e.g., gravitational circulation), (2) for calibration of multi-dimensional flow and transport models of the Bay, (3) to better...

An upward-looking acoustic Doppler velocity meter (ADVM, SonTek SW, 3.0 MHz) located in a tidal channel of the Nisqually River Delta at site D3 (N 47d 05’ 36.5”/W 122d 42’ 42.9”) measured water level and current velocity at 15-minute intervals from April 1, 2017 to July 20, 2017 (80.9 days, excluding missing periods). This site is in a tidal channel at a levee breach where flow is tidally influenced. The water depth of the sensor ranged from 0.05 to 3.04 m and may have been lower during periods of extreme low tide. The elevation (NAVD88) of the ADVM sensor was surveyed by RTN-GPS. The offset to convert all water depth time-series data to water surface elevation (NAVD88) is 0.47 meters. The instrument temperature...

The U.S. Geological Survey is testing deployments of continuous Large-Scale particle Image Velocimetry (LSPIV) streamgaging stations in areas with flashy flow regimes to measure streamflow during flood events. Videos were collected for the purpose of LSPIV streamflow analysis at a stage-discharge streamgaging station in a small, flashy urban stream in Urbana, Illinois, USA (Boneyard Creek at Urbana, IL, 03337000) with an internet protocol (IP) camera. The IP camera is mounted on the bottom of a walkway bridge spanning the creek at the gaging location, and is aimed to view the water for optimal camera perspective at all flow stages. Videos of peak streamflow events with gage height above 12 feet (local gage datum)...

The Coupled Ocean-Atmosphere-Wave-Sediment Transport (COAWST Warner and others, 2019; Warner and others, 2010) model was used to simulate three-dimensional hydrodynamics and waves to study salinity intrusion in the Delaware Bay estuary for 2019. Salinity intrusion in coastal systems is due in part to extreme events like drought or low-pressure storms and longer-term sea level rise, threatening economic infrastructure and ecological health. Along the eastern seaboard of the United States, approximately 13 million people rely on the water resources of the Delaware River basin, which is actively managed to suppress the salt front (or ~0.52 daily averaged psu line) through river discharge targets. However, river discharge...

GPS horizontal and vertical position data were collected on the Nisqually River, McAllister Creek and Nisqually River Delta to survey in water surface, instrumentation and delta structures for to reference North American Vertical Datum 1988 (NAVD88). These data are housed in .csv file named “Nisqually GPS Data” and are sorted by date and time. The position data are grouped by data collection methods Point and Topo. Point method collected position data for 180 seconds and was used to survey surface water and instrumentation elevation. Topo method collected position point data for 1 second and was used for surveying delta bathymetry elevation. Data were collected using the available RTN-GPS network provided by the...

Water velocities were measured at discrete cross-sections along an approximately 1-mile reach of the Kentucky Dam tailwater on September 12 and 17-18, 2020, using a 1200 kHz acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP). The data were geo-referenced with an integrated global navigation satellite system (GNSS) smart antenna with submeter accuracy. The ADCP and GNSS antenna were mounted on a marine survey vessel, and data were collected as the survey vessel traversed the tailwater along planned survey lines. There was typically one reciprocal pair (two passes) of data collected per line. There was a total of 53 survey lines equally spaced 100 feet apart and oriented approximately perpendicular to the primary flow direction....

In 2017, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, U.S. Geological Survey, and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers undertook a large-scale interagency field study to determine the influence of commercial barge vessels on the efficacy of the Electric Dispersal Barrier System (EDBS) in the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal (CSSC) in preventing fish passage. This study included a series of trials in which a tow, consisting of a tug vessel and fully-loaded barges, transited the EDBS in both upstream-bound (n = 65) and downstream-bound (n = 66) directions. The configuration of the barges for each run is provided in 2017_Run_Information.csv. A 600 kHz Teledyne RDI Channel Master Acoustic Doppler Velocity Meter (ADVM), was mounted on...

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

This dataset contains a summary of the characteristics of near-surface flow reversals at the Electrical Dispersal Barrier System (EDBS) on the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal at Romeoville, Illinois during Water Year 2018 (October 1, 2018, to September 30, 2019). Water velocity near the water surface is measured on a five-minute sampling interval in the EDBS using surface velocity radar at nine measurement cells on a cross section near U.S. Geological Survey streamgage 05536995 (Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal at Romeoville, Illinois). Flow reversal events are analyzed for each individual cell as well as for the average velocity over all nine cells. For the analysis of individual cells, a flow reversal event is...

Continuous measurements of nearshore currents in Lake Erie in the vicinity of Villa Angela Beach and Euclid Creek, Cleveland, Ohio, were recorded during the summer of 2019. Currents were measured every 15 minutes with a 5-minute averaging interval using two different acoustic Doppler velocity meters (ADVM). The first instrument (ADVM 1) was a SonTek 500 kHz Argonaut-SL ADVM mounted to the northwest side of the southwest caisson near the entrance of Wildwood Marina about 8 feet above the bed (approximately mid-depth at the time of installation) at a true heading of 307 degrees. ADVM 1 was configured with a 6.6-ft blanking distance, ten 33-ft measurement cells, and a total profiling distance of 335 feet from the face...
