Title: Surface Water: Stage, Temperature and Discharge, Teller Road Mile Marker 27, Seward Peninsula, Alaska, beginning 2016

Abstract

This is a continuous data set of stream water stage (water surface height above the sensor), stream water temperature, and computed discharge at the Teller Road [Mile 27] field site?s basin outlet (N64 43' 35.29649" W165 56' 48.42823"). This measuring point is near the Mile 27 marker on the Teller Highway. Stream stage and water temperature are measured every 10 minutes. Discharge in the stream is also measured every site visit using one of two different methods. Most discharge measurements in this data set use the classic USGS style wading rod to measure water velocity at multiple points (every 5 or 10 centimeters) across a known cross-section (https://pubs.usgs.gov/tm/tm3-a8/pdf/tm3-a8.pdf). The second method is the salt-slug mass diffusion method (https://www.uvm.edu/bwrl/lab_docs/protocols/2005_Moore_Slug_salt_dilution_gauging_volumetric_method_Streamline.pdf). Combining the continuous data record with the discrete observations, an initial stage-discharge relationship has been developed. In coming years, as additional discharge measurements are made, this relationship will be further refined.
