Surface velocity data acquired from QCam (drone-based Doppler velocity radar) for the Arkansas River at Parkdale, Colorado

This data release contains data collected during science flights using the drone-based QCam, which is a Doppler (velocity) radar designed to measure surface velocity and compute river discharge when channel bathymetry is known. Five science flights were conducted on the Arkansas River in Colorado and the data acquired are presented in comma separated values (CSV) files.
