Profile and discharge data for five waterways in the Utqiagvik-Atqasuk-Wainwright region, Alaska, collected August 2022
Description
Profile and discharge data for five waterways in the Utqiagvik-Atqasuk-Wainwright region, Alaska, collected August 2022, Raw Data File 2022-15, presents discharge measurements and riverbed profile data from five stream gage sites between Atqasuk, Wainwright, and Utqiaġvik. The five stream gages (22RPD001-Nigisaktuvik River; 22RPD002-Inaru River; 22RPD003-Kugrua River; 22RPD004-Kucheak Creek; 22RPD005-unnamed Inaru tributary) were installed near potential river crossings for the Arctic Strategic Transportation and Resource (ASTAR) project. The waterways were measured between August 8, 2022, and August 22, 2022 and are assumed to be in a low flow stage, as they are primarily supplied by snowmelt and rainwater run-off. The installed gaging equipment will help determine when true low flow occurs on these waterways. Site locations, stream profiles, and discharge measurements are provided in the accompanying tables. The data are available from the DGGS website: http://doi.org/10.14509/30915.
