Discharge at Jarvis Creek, Interior Alaska, 2014-2016

Discharge of the Jarvis Creek was measured sporadically and continuously at two locations starting in May 2011. The downstream site (364 km2 and 3% glacier cover) was located at near Jarvis Creek's confluence with the Delta River and the upstream site was located ~55km upstream where the stream...

Description
Summary:Discharge of the Jarvis Creek was measured sporadically and continuously at two locations starting in May 2011. The downstream site (364 km2 and 3% glacier cover) was located at near Jarvis Creek's confluence with the Delta River and the upstream site was located ~55km upstream where the stream exists the mountains (351 km2, 6% glacier cover). Measurements techniques included continuously measured stream water levels during the warm season in 2014 through 2016 and sporadic discharge measurements using three different sensors depending on flow conditions .The purpose of the dataset was to quantify the discharge from a glacierized headwater of the Yukon River basin and to assess any losses or gains in the lowland stream-reach.
