Satellite-estimated discharge sites in Alaska from WaterMAP
Detailed Description
Satellite-estimated discharge sites in Alaska. Screenshot from WaterMAP.
This dataset provides estimated Remote Sensing Streamflow (RSQ) data at selected river reaches in Alaska. Reach-specific relations between satellite-derived water-surface elevation data and dynamic surface water extent data were used with a modified form of the Manning's streamflow equation to estimate streamflows. The streamflow estimates were used to create rating tables that define the relation between discharge and satellite-observed water-surface elevation. The streamflow estimates are derived from these rating tables, interpolated using a polynomial regression equation.
