Model Archival Summary for Suspended-Sediment Concentration at U.S. Geological Survey Site 06887000, Big Blue River near Manhattan, Kansas, during July 2018 through November 2025 (ver. 2.0, February 2026)
This data release provides details on a turbidity-derived suspended-sediment concentration (SSC) model for USGS site 06887000, the Big Blue River near Manhattan, Kansas. This includes a model archival summary for SSC, developed to compute 5- to 15-minute, hourly, or daily SSC from July 26, 2018, onward. This model is specific to USGS site 06887000, the Big Blue River near Manhattan, Kansas, during this study period and cannot be applied to data collected from other locations on the Big Blue River or data collected from other water bodies. The methods follow USGS guidance as referenced in relevant Central Plains Water Science Center methods, Office of Surface Water/Office of Water Quality Technical Memoranda and USGS Techniques and Methods, book 3, chapter C4 (Rasmussen and others, 2009; U.S. Geological Survey, 2016; Stone and others, 2024).
This version supercedes the previous model version published in Kramer and Williams, 2024 (https://doi.org/10.5066/p9z2dj6p)
