Description:

Abstract:

This metadata describes a digital elevation model (DEM) created from bathymetric and topographic data collected between 2017 and 2019 in the Sacramento River Deep Water Ship Channel (DWSC), northern Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, California. We merged the newly collected bathymetric and topographic data presented in this data release (DOI:10.5066/P9AQSRVH) with 2019 surveys by the California Department of Water Resources (DWR) and 2017 USGS Sacramento Delta Lidar, to produce a seamless digital elevation model of the DWSC at a grid resolution of 1 m.

Purpose:

These data were collected in support of ongoing field experiments and numerical modeling with the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation to improve our understanding of habitat quality, the influence on various landscape features on ecosystem function, and the effects of restoration actions in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta. These data are intended for science researchers, students, policy makers, and the general public.

Supplemental_Information:

Additional information about the field activities from which these data were derived is available online at:
