Water Level Observations in the Arkansas River at Parkdale, Colorado, USA, March 2018

Metadata Updated: November 21, 2025

The U.S. Geological Survey deployed eight submersible pressure transducers In the Arkansas River at Parkdale, Colorado on March 19, 2018. An additional transducer was left out of the water to correct for barometric pressure fluctuations. At the time of deployment and recovery, the coordinates of the top of the post to which the transducer was secured was surveyed with real-time kinematic Global Navigation Satellite System surveying equipment. Also at the time of deployment and recovery, the offset between the location on the transducer that records stage and the top of the post to which the transducer was secured was measured with an engineering ruler. The transducers collected a depth measurement every 1-min until the recovery of all eight transducers on March 22, 2018. The water-surface elevation was determined by averaging the offset and coordinates of the post collected at the time of deployment and recovery and adding the water depth collected by the transducer. The data included as part of this release include the horizontal location of the eight transducers and the average water-surface elevation during deployment. In addition, the date, time, barometric pressure compensated depth measurement, and computed water-surface elevation are reported for all eight transducers for the entire deployment.
