Water-surface elevations, depths, velocities, and temperature data collected for the NASA/JPL AirSWOT campaign on the Sacramento River, near Colusa, CA, for the period March May, 2015

July 12, 2016

This field dataset of water-surface elevations, depths, velocities and temperatures was collected in March - May 2015 along the Sacramento River, near Colusa, CA. The dataset contains data from several different sources, including stationary continuously-measuring pressure transducers, high-speed longitudinal profiles of water-surface elevations measured from a power-boat, and cross section and longitudinal profiles of acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) measurements, including water-surface elevations, depths and velocities sampled from a power boat. All location data were determined with real-time kinematic global positioning systems (RTK GPS) with high precisions in both horizontal and vertical dimensions.
