Engel, F.L., 2016, Acoustic Doppler current profiler velocity data collected during 2015 and 2016 in the Calumet Harbor, Illinois: U.S. Geological Survey data release, http://dx.doi.org/10.5066/F7BZ645J.
Summary
Water velocities were measured in the Calumet Harbor for 5 dates in 2015 and 2016 using Teledyne Rio Grande 600 kHz acoustic Doppler current profilers (ADCP). The data were georeferenced with differential Dlobal Positioning System (GPS) receivers with submeter accuracy. These velocity data were collected in cooperation with the US Army Corps of Engineers, Chicago District. ADCP data were collected on the following dates and for the following purposes: May 12, 2015: Water velocities in the Calumet Harbor and Calumet River. Unsteady discharges in the Calumet River mouth. September 9, 2015: Water velocities in the Calumet Harbor and Calumet River mouth. October 5, 2015: Water velocities in the Calumet Harbor and Calumet River mouth. [...]

ADCP data were collected on the following dates and for the following purposes:
May 12, 2015: Water velocities in the Calumet Harbor and Calumet River. Unsteady discharges in the Calumet River mouth.
September 9, 2015: Water velocities in the Calumet Harbor and Calumet River mouth.
October 5, 2015: Water velocities in the Calumet Harbor and Calumet River mouth.
March 25, 2016: Water velocities in the Calumet Harbor and Calumet River mouth.
May 6, 2016: Water velocities in the Calumet Harbor and Calumet River mouth.
Datasets were processed using the Velocity Mapping Toolbox (Parsons and other, 2013) to derived temporally- and spatially-average water velocity values for each survey data. Refer to each dataset for specific details.

Purpose
These data were collected in support of the US Army Corps of Engineers Great Lakes and Mississippi River Interbasin Study (GLMRIS), and were concurrent with a dye-tracing study.
