River Depth, Water Velocity, and Direction at Three Locations Collected in 2021 and 2022 on the Allegheny River Downstream of the Kinzua Dam, Pennsylvania

This dataset contains river depth, water velocity, and direction data at three focal areas of research included in the Sustainable Rivers Program (SRP) in the Allegheny River on three dates in 2021 and 2022, at two different river conditions (10,500/10,800 cubic feet per second (cfs) and 6,600 cfs as recorded at USGS gage Allegheny River at West Hickory - 03016000). Data was collected with a Sontek M9 Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) and processed within the USGS software QREV (Mueller, 2020). Depth averaged data are provided at intervals across the river along with data at various depths. Data was collected in the same general area during the three collection periods, but the cross-section locations do not overlap.
Data Form Summary: Data is given in station number named .zip folders. Each .zip folder contains folders of data collected on each date (YYYYMMDD). For station numbers 03015650 and 03015950, data was collected at two spots and that data is separated as well. See "Transect Details" for location designation specifics. Each date_LOCATION DESIGNATION folder consists of Excel files that contain data processed within QREV. Output includes a point location, depth, water current velocity, and water current direction at that location. See each individual metadata file included in the zip file for details. This data can be processed in Geographic Information System (GIS) software for visualization purposes.
