Field spectra from rivers in Alaska, September 19-21, 2016
October 23, 2017
The U.S. Geological Survey collected field spectra collected from three rivers in Alaska September 19-21, 2016, to support research on remote sensing of river discharge. Reflectance measurements were made from bridges across the Chena River, Salcha River, and Montana Creek using an Analytical Spectral Devices FieldSpec3 spectroradiometer operated in reflectance mode. The original *.asd files are provided in this data release.

Remote measurement of river discharge using thermal particle image velocimetry (PIV) and various sources of bathymetric information
Although river discharge is a fundamental hydrologic quantity, conventional methods of streamgaging are impractical, expensive, and potentially dangerous in remote locations. This study evaluated the potential for measuring discharge via various forms of remote sensing, primarily thermal imaging of flow velocities but also spectrally-based depth retrieval from passive optical image data. We acquir
