USGS Water-Year Summary 2023

01359165 HUDSON RIVER AT PORT OF ALBANY, NY

LOCATION - Lat 42°37'10.3", long 73°45'32.1" referenced to North American Datum of 1983, Albany County, NY, Hydrologic Unit 02020006, on right bank at the Port of Albany, 1.7 mi downstream from bridge on U.S. Highway 90, and 7.9 mi upstream from Castleton Bridge on State Highway 912M.

DRAINAGE AREA - 8,300 mi².

SURFACE-WATER RECORDS

PERIOD OF RECORD - October 2016 to current year.

GAGE - Water-stage recorder, acoustic velocity meter, and crest-stage gage. Elevation record is provided in NGVD of 1929 and NAVD of 1988 datums. To convert NGVD of 1929 elevations to NAVD of 1988, subtract 0.75 ft.

REMARKS - Blanks in table are the result of only one high or low tide during a day or interruption of record.

EXTREMES FOR PERIOD OF RECORD - Maximum elevation, 9.00 ft above NGVD of 1929 (8.25 ft above NAVD of 1988), Dec. 18, 2023; minimum elevation, -4.52 ft above NGVD of 1929 (-5.27 ft above NAVD of 1988), Feb. 4, 2023.

WATER-QUALITY RECORDS

PERIOD OF RECORD - May 2019 to current year.

PERIOD OF DAILY RECORD - WATER TEMPERATURE: May 2019 to current year.
SPECIFIC CONDUCTANCE: May 2019 to current year.
pH: May 2019 to current year.
DISSOLVED OXYGEN: May 2019 to current year.
TURBIDITY: May 2019 to current year.

COOPERATION - Maintained by the Hudson River Environmental Conditions Observing System in cooperation with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation.

INSTRUMENTATION - A multi-parameter water-quality sonde measures water temperature, specific conductance, pH, dissolved oxygen, and turbidity at 15-minute intervals since May 2019.

EXTREMES FOR PERIOD OF DAILY RECORD - WATER TEMPERATURE: Maximum, 29.9°C, July 27, 2020; minimum, -0.1°C, Jan. 15, 2022.
SPECIFIC CONDUCTANCE: Maximum, 485 uS/cm @ 25°C, Mar. 5, 2021; minimum, 140 uS/cm @ 25°C, Apr. 16, 2023.
pH: Maximum, 9.1, July 27, 18, 2020; minimum, 7.3, on several days in August 2022.
DISSOLVED OXYGEN: Maximum, 17.4 mg/L, Dec. 21, 2019; minimum, 4.2 mg/L, Sept. 1, 2022.
TURBIDITY: May 3, 2019 to Feb. 27, 2023: Maximum, 833 FNU, Nov. 2, 2019; minimum, <0.3 FNU, on several days. [<, actual value is known to be less than the value shown] Mar. 23, 2023 to current year: Maximum, 572 FNU, July 10, 2023; minimum, 1.2 FNU, June 1, 2023.
