This file is out of date has been combined in a multi-year file. See: Bowden, W. 2020. Kuparuk River stream temperature and discharge measured each summer, Dalton Road crossing, Arctic LTER Toolik Field Staion, Alaska 1978-2019 Environmental Data Initiative. http://dx.doi.org/10.6073/pasta/b407edbe788d9be27662009e1be8331b Discharge Each summer, water temperature and stream discharge are determined for the Kuparuk River. In many years, stream height were recorded manually each day. In recent years, data loggers have measured stream temperature and stream height at regular intervals. The Kuparuk River data is maintained by Dough Kane on the Water and Environmental Research Center at UAF (http://www.uaf.edu/water/projects/NorthSlope/upper_kuparuk/uk_river/uk_r...) Stream height is converted into stream discharge based on a rating curve calculated from manual discharge measurements throughout the season. The principal investigator in charge of the temperature and discharge measurements is Dr. Breck Bowden. 1998 had no temperature file.
