Suspended-sediment concentrations, acoustic data, and a linear regression model for the Minnesota River at Mankato, Minnesota, 2016-2019

A simple linear regression model was developed and calibrated for the Minnesota River at Mankato, Minnesota (Site Number: 05325000). The linear regression model was calibrated using acoustic and suspended-sediment concentration data collected from 2016 through 2019.The calibrated model will be used to improve understanding of sediment transport processes and increase accuracy of estimating sediment concentrations and loads for the Minnesota River at Mankato, Minnesota.
