ABSTRACT:

This is the location for the U.S. Geological Survey Surface Water and Ocean Topography calibration data intended for the Surface Water and Ocean Topography Hydrology Community Discharge (SWOT SHCQ). The SWORD network version used here is v16. Discharge, depth, water surface elevation, velocity, cross-sectional area, width, measurements were taken with the Sontek M9 and Teledyne RiverPro and processed with Qrev. Data was collected on the Ikopa and Betsiboka rivers in Madagascar, and the Cubango/Okavango River in Botswana, Namibia, and Angola. Discharge measurements at gage locations were collated from the U.S. Geological Survey and Environment and Climate Change Canada. Questions can be directed to mharlan@usgs.gov.
