20 Year Daily Average Modeled Velocity and Discharge for Open water Season at Five Communities on Kuskokwim River, Alaska

Publicly accessible License

This dataset from the University of Alaska Fairbanks provides modeled daily average river velocity and discharge data covering 20 years of open-water seasons for five communities along the Kuskokwim River in Alaska. The data support assessments of hydrokinetic energy potential and inform the design of river-based microgrids. Researchers and planners can use the dataset to analyze resource variability, evaluate feasibility of hydrokinetic projects, and understand seasonal patterns that affect microgrid generation planning.
