The accumulated sediment behind Spencer Dam ordinarily is released semiannually; however, the spring 2014 release was postponed until the fall. Because of the postponement, the scheduled fall sediment release would consist of a larger volume of sediment. The larger than normal sediment release expected in fall 2014 provided an opportunity for the USGS and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to improve the understanding of sediment transport during reservoir sediment releases. A primary objective was to collect continuous suspended-sediment data during the first days of the sediment release to document rapid changes in sediment concentrations. For this purpose, the USGS installed a laser-diffraction particle-size analyzer at a site near the outflow of the dam to collect continuous suspended-sediment data. The laser-diffraction particle-size analyzer measured volumetric particle concentration and particle-size distribution from October 1 to 2 (pre-sediment release) and October 5 to 9 (during sediment release). Additionally, the USGS manually collected discrete suspended-sediment and bed-sediment samples before, during, and after the sediment release. Samples were collected at two sites upstream from Spencer Dam and at three bridges downstream from Spencer Dam. The resulting datasets and basic metadata associated with the datasets were published as a data release; this report provides additional documentation about the data collection methods and the quality of the data.", "description": "Report: iv, 11 p.; Data Release", "publisher": {"@type": "Organization", "name": "U.S. Geological Survey"}, "author": [{"@type": "Person", "name": "Coleman, Anthony M.", "givenName": "Anthony M.", "familyName": "Coleman", "affiliation": [{"@type": "Organization", "name": "Oregon Water Science Center", "url": "https://www.usgs.gov/centers/oregon-water-science-center"}]}, {"@type": "Person", "name": "Zelt, Ronald B. rbzelt@usgs.gov", "givenName": "Ronald B.", "familyName": "Zelt", "email": "rbzelt@usgs.gov", "identifier": {"@type": "PropertyValue", "propertyID": "ORCID", "value": "0000-0001-9024-855X", "url": "https://orcid.org/0000-0001-9024-855X"}, "affiliation": [{"@type": "Organization", "name": "California Water Science Center", "url": "https://www.usgs.gov/centers/california-water-science-center"}, {"@type": "Organization", "name": "Nebraska Water Science Center", "url": "https://www.usgs.gov/centers/nebraska-water-science-center"}]}, {"@type": "Person", "name": "Schaepe, Nathaniel J. nschaepe@usgs.gov", "givenName": "Nathaniel J.", "familyName": "Schaepe", "email": "nschaepe@usgs.gov", "identifier": {"@type": "PropertyValue", "propertyID": "ORCID", "value": "0000-0003-1776-7411", "url": "https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1776-7411"}, "affiliation": [{"@type": "Organization", "name": "Nebraska Water Science Center", "url": "https://www.usgs.gov/centers/nebraska-water-science-center"}]}], "funder": [{"@type": "Organization", "name": "Nebraska Water Science Center", "url": "https://www.usgs.gov/centers/nebraska-water-science-center"}], "spatialCoverage": [{"@type": "Place", "additionalType": "country", "name": "United States", "url": "https://geonames.org/6252001"}, {"@type": "Place", "additionalType": "state", "name": "Nebraska", "url": "https://geonames.org/5073708"}, {"@type": "Place", "additionalType": "city", "name": "Spencer", "url": "https://geonames.org/4250455"}, {"@type": "Place", "additionalType": "unknown", "name": "Niobrara River", "url": "https://geonames.org/5073938"}, {"@type": "Place", "geo": [{"@type": "GeoShape", "additionalProperty": {"@type": "PropertyValue", "name": "GeoJSON", "value": {"type": "FeatureCollection", "features": [{"type": "Feature", "properties": {}, "geometry": {"type": "Polygon", "coordinates": [[[-98.8333, 42.6667], [-98, 42.6667], [-98, 42.9167], [-98.8333, 42.9167], [-98.8333, 42.6667]]]}}]}}}, {"@type": "GeoCoordinates", "latitude": 42.7917, "longitude": -98.41665}]}]}
