Spatial Extent of Data

ISO 19115 Topic Category

Geospatial Dataset of Topographic and Bathymetric Survey Points collected for US Army Corps of Engineers as part of the Sustainable Rivers Program in the Allegheny River, PA downstream of the Kinzua Dam.

This dataset contains spatial datasets of topographic and bathymetric survey data in addition to data table the shapefile data collected at the 3 focal areas of research included in the Sustainable Rivers Program (SRP) in the Allegheny River that were collected and processed in collaboration with US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). The dataset is a combination of terrestrial topographic and bathymetry data measured by Trimble R10 Model 2 GNSS survey equipment or a FlowTracker2 Acoustic Doppler Velocimeter (ADV). The FlowTracker2 was used for flow measurements and water depth and spatial location of each flow measurement point were used to calculate river bottom bathymetry at those locations. Additionally, National Elevation Dataset (NED) data, obtained from the USGS Earth Resources Observation and Science (EROS) Data Center was used for quality assurance and control of field collected data. NED data is clearly labeled in "source" column in both the shapefile and data table. Bottom track bathymetry data from measurements collected with a Sontek M9 Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) will be published in a future data release version.
