Model archive summary for turbidity derived suspended-sediment concentration at USGS station 01351500 Schoharie Creek at Burtonsville, New York

Metadata Updated: January 21, 2026

This child item model archive summary documents a surrogate regression model to estimate suspended-sediment concentration (SSC) at the Schoharie Creek at Burtonsville, New York (U.S. Geological Survey station number 01351500). The methods used follow USGS guidance in relevant Office of Surface Water/Office of Water Quality Technical Memoranda and USGS Techniques and Methods, book 3, chap. 4 (Rasmussen and others, 2009). Sixty-one concurrent measurements of SSC and turbidity, collected from October 1, 2015, through May 2, 2020, were used in the model calibration dataset. Samples were collected across 75 percent of the range in observed discharge and 87 percent of the range in observed turbidity during the model calibration period. The greatest sampled discharges and turbidities during the calibration period were exceeded less than 0.2 percent and 0.5 percent of the time, respectively. Suspended-sediment concentrations were estimated from an ordinary least squares regression between SSC and turbidity developed using the U.S. Geological Survey Surrogate Analysis and Index Developer (SAID) Tool (Domanski and others, 2015).
