Remotely sensed data and field measurements used for bathymetric mapping of the upper Sacramento River in northern California
To support research on remote sensing of rivers, several types of remotely sensed data and various field measurements were acquired from a reach of the upper Sacramento River in northern California, September 11 - October 18, 2017. These data sets also facilitate efforts to characterize in-stream habitat for salmon and monitor geomorphic change along the Sacramento River. This parent data release includes links to child pages for the following data sets:
1) airborne hyperspectral image data acquired from a conventional, manned, fixed-wing aircraft;
2) hyperspectral image data acquired from an umanned aerial system (UAS);
3) multispectral image data acquired from a satellite;
4) bathymetric LiDAR acquired from a manned aircraft;
5) ground-based depth measurements obtained by wading and with an acoustic Doppler current profiler and echo sounder;
6) reflectance spectra collected from a raft; and
7) in situ measurements of various optical properties of the water column, including data from several other rivers.
Please refer to the individual child pages for further detail about each data set. Overall, these data were used to develop improved methods of estimating water depth from remotely sensed data.

Remote sensing of river bathymetry: Evaluating a range of sensors, platforms, and algorithms on the upper Sacramento River, California, USA
Remote sensing has become an increasingly viable tool for characterizing fluvial systems. In this study, we used field measurements from a 1.6 km reach of the upper Sacramento River, CA, to evaluate the potential of mapping water depths from a range of platforms, sensors, and depth retrieval methods. Field measurements of water column optical properties also were compared to similar data sets fromAuthorsCarl J. Legleiter, Lee R. Harrison - Connect
