      <abstract>Field spectra were collected from the Deschutes River near Bend, OR, July 26-28, 2016, to support research on remote sensing of river discharge. Reflectance measurements were made from a raft in the reach of the Deschutes River between Benham Falls and Dillon Falls using an Analytical Spectral Devices FieldSpec3 spectroradiometer operated in reflectance mode. The depth at each spectral measurement location was interpolated from field measurements of depth obtained with an echo sounder.  This data release provides both the reflectance spectra and the interpolated depths and can be used to develop relationships between depth and reflectance for mapping river bathymetry from field spectra or passive optical remotely sensed data.</abstract>
      <purpose>These field spectra were used to establish relationships between depth and reflectance that could be used to infer water depth from passive optical image data or field spectra.  This kind of depth information could be incorporated into techniques for measuring river discharge from remotely sensed data.</purpose>

        <procdesc>Water depths at each spectral measurement location were interpolated from depth measurements made by a SonarMite echo sounder coupled to a Trimble R8 real-time kinematic (RTK) GPS receiver that provided a GPS position for each depth measurement location.  The field spectra were measured from a raft on which a second Trimble R8 RTK GPS receiver was mounted to define the boat's orientation as well as its position, along with GPS time stamps.  The time stamps from the GPS and the file save times from the spectroradiometer then were used to link each field spectrum to a spatial location.  The mounting geometry of the spectroradiometer and the two GPS receivers was measured and used to calculate the position of the sensor fore-optic as an offset relative to the positions of the two GPS receivers.  

The locations of the depth (from the ADCP) and reflectance (from the spectroradiometer) measurements then were transformed to a channel-centered coordinate system and the geostatistical approach described by Legleiter and Kyriakdis (Legleiter, C.J. and Kyriakidis, P.C., 2008. Spatial prediction of river channel topography by kriging. Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, 33(6): 841-867) was used to estimate the depth at each spectral measurement location by ordinary kriging.</procdesc>

        <procdesc>The field spectra were obtained with an Analytical Spectral Devices (ASD) FieldSpec3 spectroradiometer operated in reflectance mode, which involved periodically (approximately every 10 minutes) pointing the sensor at a white reference panel that served as a 100% reflectance standard.  Subsequent measurements of the upwelling spectral radiance from the river channel were then normalized by the radiance from the white reference panel to obtain reflectance values.  The data initially were saved in the native .asd file format and then imported to MATLAB via a custom function developed to read .asd data files.  All of the spectra were plotted and obvious outliers (for example, when the white reference panel was still in the field of view) were removed.  The spectra were subset from the original wavelength range from 375 to 1050 nm to 400 to 900 nm due to excessive noise at shorter and longer wavelengths.  The spectra then were smoothed by twice applying a third-order Savitzky-Golay filter with a frame width of 15 nm.</procdesc>
