Historical files have been researched and available data are docu- mented in this report.Records which could .be retrieved or copied exist in R&MConsultants files.Records which are unavailable at this time,are identified as to location of files,data type,and period of record. There are 15 major data categories assigned to the Susitna Basin. With each major category,each data station is assigned a unique number which identifies the index file containing the data.A convention of upstream to downstream order is used to number each data station.For example,if it is desired to review hydro- logical data availability in the Susitna River at Gold Creek,the following index numbers would be referenced: 0140 Streamflow Continuous Gaging 0340 Water Quality 0440 Water Temperature 0540 Sediment Discharge 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 every six susi5/b - 1 - -, .... .... months.Anyone knowing of additional data that has been collected within or adjacent to the Susitna River Basin is asked to notify R&M Consultants,P.O.Box 6087,Anchorage,Alaska 99503~ (907)279-0483. Hard copy of the data will be stored in the R&M Consultants and Acres American offices.The data will be made a"'ailable to project team members and other concerned parties. susi5/b - 2 - !~ WATER RESOURCES DATA COLLECTED IN THE SUSITNA RIVER BASIN 0100 STREAMFLOW CONTI NUOUS GAGI NG Mean daily discharge and/or annual maximum flood peak discharge data have been collected by the U.S.Geological Survey &R&M Consultants at several locations within the Susitna River Basin.

These reports are available for any station publishing an IIAnnual Summary with Comparative Data ll f and present most of the para- meters contained in the annual summary on a daily basis f with selected parameters also presented on a 3-hour or hourly basis. The miscellaneous wind data have been supplied by Mr.Jim Wise of the Arctic Environmental Information and Data Center f and are taken from a soon-to-be-published manuscript entitled the JlWind Power Atlas ll •The data are listed by parameter collected.This information is footnoted in the table and listed at the end of the table. susi5/b -22 - - Climate data measured at each R&M station include:air tempera- ture,average wind speed,wind direction,peak wind gust, relative humidity,precipitation,and solar radiation.Snowfall amounts will be measured in a heated precipitation bucket at Watana only.Data are recorded at thirty-minute intervals at the Susitna Glacier Station and at fifteen-minute intervals at all the other stations. 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 6usitna River Basin listed first.

The ADF&G markers have been established for the purpose of studying the effect of snow depth on game movements.There are 8 locations each along a tributary stream to the Susitna River with 4 - 6 aerial snow markers at each location.These markers are placed at different elevations moving up the stream valley. The cross reference numbers for SCS sites listed on the following page correspond to map numbers as pUblished in the Snow Survey Bulletin issued by the Soil Conservation Service.Cross reference numbers for R&M and ADF&G snow courses are arbitrary.These will be changed to map numbers when they are included in the Snow Survey bulletin. Air of the data listed can be obtained from the agency responsible for the snow course or from R&M Consultants. susiS/b -29 - .... ....

Glacia1studies will be supported by historical data from ·climate stations and snow sur·veys in the Susitna Basin 1 as well as, sediment discharge records for theSusitna and Maclaren Rivers. This sediment discharge data will be used to develop mean annual and seasotlal sediment production rates for glacial basins. Other data is also available for the glacial area of theSusitna Basin.Oblique aerial photography taken by Larry Mayo with the USGS in Fairbanks,documenting glacial morphology short term changes indicating glacier activity can be obtained through the USGS photo lab in Tacoma,Washington.Vertical aerial photo- graphy from 1950 will be augmented by new photography in 1981 to see if glacier'volume changes can be estimated by comparison of photography covering the same area over time,and to further document surface features,such as glacier-dammed lakes..This information can also be used to determine the effects of long and short-term volume changes on hydrological regime. One aspect of the field work to be conducted by Dr.Harrison & R&M Consultants during 1981 is installation of a thermistor string in the Susitna Glacier to provide some input on glacier dynamics.· Additional field work will be conducted to monitor velocity of the Susitna Glacier Lrsing markers on the glacier and reference ground points. susi5/b -43 - One major event has been monitored by Austin Post in 1952,and repor~tedin this paper from 1960: The exceptional advance of the Muldrow I Black Rapids & Susitna Glaciers:Journal of Geophysical Research 1 v.65, pp.3703-3712.
