Velocity and water-surface elevation measurements from the Wallens Bend reach of the Clinch River, near Kyles Ford, Tennessee

Published by U.S. Geological Survey | Department of the Interior | Metadata Last Checked: July 15, 2025 | Last Modified: 20241021
This dataset includes 4 sets of velocity measurements and water-surface elevation measurements collected at the Wallens Bend (WB) reach on the Clinch River near Kyles Ford, Tennessee between April 14, 2021 and September 8, 2021. Velocity data were collected by USGS staff from the Columbia Environmental Research Center at different locations in the study reach using an acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) and Real Time Kinematic Global Navigation Satellite Systems (RTK GNSS) positioning. Data were used to evaluate the calibration performance of a one-dimensional hydraulic model of the WB reach. Velocity data are provided as mean velocity at distances along a stream centerline that corresponds to the one-dimensional hydraulic modeling reach in HEC-RAS. Water-surface elevation data were collected by USGS staff from the Columbia Environmental Research Center using RTK GPS for the length of the study reach. Data were used to calibrate a one-dimensional hydraulic model of the WB reach. Water surface elevations are provided at distances along a stream centerline that corresponds to the one-dimensional hydraulic modeling reach in HEC-RAS.
