Methods:	Stage height measurements were recorded by a Campbell CR-10 datalogger positioned 1 km upstream of the Kuparuk River crossing at the Dalton Highway. Stage height readings are in centimeters from the bottom of the river to the water surface. Discharge calibration measurements were taken at 60% of depth at 20-30 points along a cross sectional transect of the river, 100 meters upstream of the datalogger. Raw data from the calibration measurements are available. Notes: Gap in discharge data from June 1 - June 13 due to ice. Large flooding event occurred on August 15. For stage heights and rating curves contact Rob Gieck at University of Alaska, Fairbanks. Sampling Description. None
