INTRODUCTION The objective of the Field Data Index &.Distribution System is to establish a formal system of conveyi ng information concern ing hyd rologic and climatologic data availability to each member of the study team.The project data base consists of (a)Historical recorded data up to January 1, 1980;(b)Post 1980 data collected by government agencies and study team members. Historical files have been researched and available data are documented in this report.Records which could be retrieved or copied exist in R&.M Consulta nts files.Records which are u nava i lable at this time,are iden- tified as to location of files,data type,and period of record. Data stations are identified in this volume by a unique four digit index number which identifies type of data and station location.The first two digits of the index number correspond to the type of data collected. There are seventeen different types of water resource data indexed,so data stations series are numbered accordingly 0100 through 1700.The last two digits of the index number correspond to a unique location number. For data taken from river sampling,station n-umbers increase from up- stream to down stream locations.River miles a re listed where applicable to help identify station locations.For data stations away from the river channel,the location number is unique for that location among each data series number. Thus for the index number 0540,for example,the first two digits (05) identify the data as sediment discharge),while the latter two digits (40) identify the station as Susitna River at Gold Creek.Availability of other series numbers with the same location number,such as: 0140 Streamflow Continuous Gaging,Susitna River at Gold Creek 0340 Water Quality,Susitna River at Gold Creek 0440 Water Temperature,Susitna River at Gold Creek, et cetera All of the data collection stations included in this index are shown on the Data Collection Stations map accompanying this volume.Most station index numbers are shown next to their associated station symbol on the map.In the cases where many index numbers are assignable to one location,index numbers are listed and cross referenced in the table of multiple record stations inset at the upper left portion of the map. All new data collected by R&.M Consultants or other organizations will be added to the index system.An update will be prepared and distributed to personnel listed in Appendix G each year.Anyone knowing of additional data that has been collected within or adjacent to the Susitna River Basin susi7/b - 1 -(Revised 4/84) -- - - - is asked to notify R&M Consultants,P.O.Box 6087,Anchorage,Alaska - 99503,(907)561-1733. Hard copy of the data will be stored in the R&M Consultants offices.The data will be made available to project team members and other concerned parties upon request. Sections of the I ndex that have been substantially revised in the 1984 update a re:Aerial Photog raphy (Section 1300),Aquatic Habitat Obser- vations (Section 1700),and the Field Data Index Distribution List (Appendix G).First,the aerial photography list has been expanded considerably to include additional historical flight lines which were discovered and also to note the extent (river miles)of the Susitna River covered by the photography.Second,the index of aquatic habitat data collection sites and dates has also been greatly expanded with the assistance of the Alaska Department of Fish and Game.Finally,the distribution list has been updated to add parties who have become involved in the hydrologic aspects of the project in the past year and to delete those who no longer are involved in the project. susi7/b -2 -(Revised 4/84) - WA TER RESOURCES DATA COLLECTED IN THE SUSITNA RIVER BASIN 0100 STREAMFLOW CONTINUOUS GAGING Mean daily discharge and/or annual maximum flood peak discharge data have been collected by the U.S.Geological Survey (USGS)&R&M Consultants (R&M)at several locations within the Susitna River Basin. The stations for which this information is available and the period of record at each location are listed below.Unless indicated by agency name in parentheses following the period of record,all data has been collected by the USGS.All data listed in this section are on file at R&M Consultants according to index number and name. Seven additional continuous stream gages are included under Section 1700 Slough Observations.Therefore they have not been listed again in this section. 0115 Maclaren River near Paxson -USGS Station 15291200- -I Jndex No. 0110 0120 0130 Description Susitna River near Denali -USGS Station 15291000 (RM 290.7) Mean Daily Discha rge Records:May 1957 -September 1966;July 1968 -Present Annual Instantaneous Peak Flow:1957-1963,1965, 1967,1967 -Present Mean Daily Discharge Records:June 1958 -Present Susitna River nea r Cantwell -USGS Station 15291500 (RM 223.0) Mean Daily Discharge Record:May 1961 -September 1972;May 1980 -Present Susitna River near Watana Damsite -R&M SG-1 (RM 182.1) Mean Daily Discharge Records:July 1980 -Present 0140 Susitna River near Gold Creek -USGS Station 15292000 (RM 136.6) Mean Daily.Discha rge Record:August 1949 -Present susi7/c 01 00 - 1 (Revised 2/83) 0145 Chulitna River near Talkeetna -USGS Station 15292400 Annual Instantaneous Peak Flow:1958-1977, 1980 -Present ...

Climatic Data collected by NOAA appear for individual stations in one of two types of reports.The first,entitled "Local Climatological Data, Annual Summary with Comparative Data"is generally the most comprehensive and is published only for stations with over 30 years data. A list of the parameters included in this report is presented in Appendix D.The second,entitled "Annual Climatologic Summary"contains fewer parameters than the first,and a list of the parameters included in this report is presented in Appendix E.It should be noted that all of the parameters listed in the appendices for a particular report may not have actually been measu red at any given station. NOAA also publishes reports entitled "Local Climatological Data,Monthly Summaries".These reports are available for any station publishing an "Annual Summary with Comparative Data",and present most of the parameters contained in the annual summary on a daily basis,with selected parameters also presented on a 3-hour or hourly basis. Data for stations not covered by the above reports can be obtained from NOAA reports entitled "Climatological Data"(CD's)which are published monthly and contain summary information on all climate stations in the State. The miscellaneous wind data have been supplied by Mr.Jim Wise of the Arctic Envi ronmental I nformation and Data Center,and a re taken from the manuscript entitled "Wind Power Atlas".The data are listed by parameter collected.This information is footnoted in the table and listed at the end of the table. Climate data measured at each R&M station include:air temperature, average wind speed,wind direction,peak wind gust,relative humidity, precipitation,and solar radiation.Longwave radiation is measured at Watana and EkJutna Lake.Snowfall amounts have been measul'ed in a heated precipitation bucket at Watana only.Data are recorded at fifteen or thirty-minute intervals at all the stations.An evaporation pan was installed in spring of 1981 at Watana Camp and measurements are taken daily during May -September. An attempt has been made at ordering climate stations from the upper to the lower Susitna River Basin,with R&M Stations in the upper Susitna River Basin listed first. Climate data may be obtained through R&M Consultants. susi7/h 0600 -1 (Revised 4/84) Index Number 0610 0618 0620 0630 0635 0640 0650 0660 0665 0670 0671 0671 0672 0673 0674 0674.5 0675 0676 0676 Station Name Susitna Glacier Gracious House Denali Tyone R.

Data were gathered on all major glaciers of the Upper Susitna Basin with the exception of the Eureka and Oshetna Glaciers.Study of the Eureka Glacier was limited to visual observations and aerial photography.The Oshetna Glacier was not considered a major contributor to the flow or sediment regime of the Susitna River and therefore was omitted from this study. R&M conducted the control and velocity su rveys on the West Fork Glacier, West Tributary of Susitna Glacier,Turkey Glacier and East Tributary of Susitna Glacier.The velocity su rveys have been repeated month Iy,May through September,during 1981 and 1982,to determine ice movement as an aid in mass balance and glacier dynamics analyses. A thermocouple string was installed to a depth of 66 feet at an elevation of 7700 feet on the West Tributary of Susitna Glacier to determine the thermal regime of the ice. Glacial studies were supported by historical data from climate stations and snow surveys in the Susitna Basin,as well as sediment discharge records for the Susitna and Maclaren Rivers. The results of this data acquisition effort,as well as a thorough description of field procedures and analytical methods,are presented in'> reports by Dr.William Harrison of the Geophysical Institute (R&M and Harrison 1981,and 1982). susi7/r 1500 - 1 (Revised 2/83) 1600 GLACIAL LAKE OBSERVATIONS To determine the effects of a large impoundment of glacial water,such as the Watana or Devil Canyon reservoir,upon a stream system,a glacial lake study was begun in the spring of 1982.On Apr'il 16 R&M Consultants,in conj unction with ADF&G,visited fou r glacial la kes in south -central Alas ka; Kenai,Skilak,Tustumena and Eklutna.They measured temperatures profiles and turbidity at each lake.It was then decided that a more intense study of one glacial lake would be a preferred approach.Eklutna Lake was chosen as an easily accessible glacial reservoir,and it is also compa rable to the proposed Wata na reservoi r consideri ng the followi l.g criteria: - -1. 2. 3. Residence time of water in lake Percent of drainage area covered by glaciers Ratio of live storage to total storage Continuous discharge and temperature data are being collected from the main inflow glacial streams by R&M Consultants.Daily outflow temperatu res and flow releases from the tai Irace of the power plant are also being monitored,by Alaska Power Administration personnel.Lake water quality profiles are being developed from sampling at fixed locations on a biweekly schedule during the summer,and at longer intervals during the winter.Profile data may include temperatu re,conductivity,tu rbidity and/or transmissivity.Measurement of light penetration in the lake was also undertaken.Dates of the lake sampling trips are listed below. A cI imate station was installed on the southern end of the reservoi I'in June 1982.Parameters recorded every 15 minutes include air temperature, wi nd speed and di rection,peak wi nd gust,relative humidity,shortwave radiation and precipitation.Longwave radiation measu rement was added in July 1982.I n November 1983,recording interval was changed to 30 minutes. - Data concerning the sediment regime of the lake were also including sediment concentration and particle size distribution, particle density distribution a nd mineralogy. collected, sediment All the above-mentioned data can be fou nd on fi Ie at R &M Consultants.
