Model Archival Summary for Suspended-Sediment Concentration at U.S. Geological Survey Site 06887000, Big Blue River near Manhattan, Kansas, during July 2018 through August 2023

February 1, 2024

This model archival summary summarizes the suspended-sediment concentration (SSC; U.S. Geological Survey [USGS] parameter code 80154) model developed to compute 15-minute, hourly, or daily SSC from July 26, 2018, onward. This model is specific to USGS site 06887000, the Big Blue River near Manhattan, Kansas, during this study period and cannot be applied to data collected from other locations on the Big Blue River or data collected from other water bodies. The methods follow USGS guidance as referenced in relevant Office of Surface Water/Office of Water Quality Technical Memoranda and USGS Techniques and Methods, book 3, chapter C4 (Rasmussen and others, 2009; U.S. Geological Survey, 2016).
