This data release consists of a video and individual image frames extracted from the original high frame rate video and used to derive remotely sensed estimates of surface flow velocity via particle image velocimetry (PIV). These data were acquired from the Tanana River near Nenana, Alaska, on July 14, 2020. The video was obtained from a satellite operated by Planet Labs as part of the SkySat constellation. The original video was recorded at 30 frames per second and is provided in a compressed, lower-resolution .mp4 format video file for viewing. In addition, Planet Labs provided the individual frames comprising the video as full resolution TIFF images. This data release consists of individual frames extracted...

This data release consists of a sequence of optical images extracted from a high frame rate video and used to derive remotely sensed estimates of surface flow velocity via particle image velocimetry (PIV). These data were acquired from the Tanana River near Nenana, Alaska, on July 24, 2019, along with field measurements of flow velocity used to assess the accuracy of image-derived velocity estimates. The images were obtained using a Zenmuse X5 video camera deployed within a Meeker mount attached to the nose of a Robinson R44 helicopter. The original video was recorded at 30 frames per second while the helicopter hovered in a fixed location approximately 600 m above the river, but the image sequence was extracted...

Field measurements of depth-averaged flow velocity were acquired from the Tanana and Nenana Rivers near Nenana, Alaska, August 18, 2021, to support research on estimating surface flow velocities from remotely sensed data via particle image velocimetry (PIV). The velocity measurements included in this data release were obtained using a TRDI RiverRay acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) deployed from a boat with an outboard motor. These data were collected along 7 cross-sections on the Tanana River and 7 cross-sections on the Nenana River; two passes across the channel were made at each cross-section. This data release provides depth-averaged flow velocities derived from the raw ADCP data using the TRDI WinRiver...

Field measurements of flow velocity were acquired from a reach of the Tanana River near Nenana, Alaska, July 24, 2019, to support research on estimating surface flow velocities from remotely sensed data via particle image velocimetry (PIV). The velocity measurements included in this data release were obtained using a TRDI RiverRay acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) deployed from a boat with an outboard motor. This data release provides depth-averaged flow velocities derived from the raw ADCP data using the TRDI WinRiver II processing software. The spatial location of each velocity measurement was obtained using a differential GPS included as part of the RiverRay instrument package. The map projection and...

This data release consists of a series of videos used to derive remotely sensed estimates of surface flow velocity via particle image velocimetry (PIV). These data were acquired from the Tanana River near Nenana, Alaska, on July 24, 2019, along with field measurements of flow velocity used to assess the accuracy of image-derived velocity estimates. The videos were obtained using a Zenmuse X5 video camera deployed within a Meeker mount attached to the nose of a Robinson R44 helicopter. The data release includes a total of 14 individual videos obtained while the helicopter hovered at a series of different locations above the river channel to provide reach-scale coverage. Each of these videos was recorded at 30 frames...

This data release consists of an orthophoto of the Tanana River in Alaska acquired on July 24, 2019. The orthophoto was produced from images obtained using a Hasselblad A6D-100C 100 megapixel digital mapping camera deployed within a pod mounted on the landing gear of a Robinson R44 helicopter. Images were acquired as the helicopter transited a series of flight lines designed to provide complete coverage, with ample overlap, of the study area along the Tanana River. Also within the pod was an ATLANS GPS/Inertial Motion Unit (IMU) that recorded the position and orientation of the platform during the flight. This information was used to geo-reference the images by performing aerial triangulation and bundle adjustment...

This data release includes videos acquired from a helicopter and field measurements of flow depth and velocity from the Tanana River near Nenana, Alaska, obtained on July 24, 2019. This parent data release includes links to child pages for two data sets produced during the study: 1. Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) field measurements of flow depth and velocity from the Tanana River, Alaska, collected on July 24, 2019. 2. Videos of the Tanana River, Alaska, acquired from a helicopter on July 24, 2019. Please refer to the individual child pages for further detail about each data set. Overall, these data were used to assess the potential to estimate surface flow velocities and water depths in sediment-laden...

This data release includes a video acquired from a satellite and field measurements of flow velocity from the Tanana River in Alaska that were used to derive remotely sensed estimates of surface flow velocities via particle image velocimetry (PIV). The field data were collected on July 24, 2019, in cooperation with the USGS Alaska Science Center, and the satellite video was obtained on July 14, 2020. The purpose of this study was to assess the feasibility of inferring flow velocities from video acquired from a satellite in orbit above the river by tracking water surface features via a Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) algorithm. Remote sensing of flow velocity could provide a more efficient, cost-effective alternative...

Field measurements of flow depth and depth-averaged velocity were acquired from a reach of the Tanana River near Nenana, Alaska, July 24, 2019, to support research on estimating surface flow velocities and water depths from remotely sensed data via particle image velocimetry (PIV) and flow resistance equations, respectively. The depth and velocity measurements included in this data release were obtained using a TRDI RiverRay acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) deployed from a boat with an outboard motor. This data release provides depths and depth-averaged flow velocities derived from the raw ADCP data using the TRDI WinRiver II processing software. The WinRiver II output was then imported into the USGS Velocity...

This child data release provides the information needed to download from the USGS EarthExplorer portal digital orthophotos acquired along the Tanana and Nenana Rivers near Nenana, Alaska, on August 19, 2021. The primary goal of this study was to assess the feasibility of estimating surface flow velocities from optical image sequences acquired from a fixed-wing aircraft flying along the river by tracking water surface features via particle image velocimetry (PIV). Remote sensing of flow velocities could provide a more efficient, cost-effective alternative to conventional field-based methods of measuring channel hydraulics and thus become an important component of non-contact approaches to streamgaging. Moreover,...
