Kautz Creek at Kautz Helibase
 View forecast for this location

Station and Location Information:
 ► Latitude: 46.729543° North (WGS1984)
► Longitude: -121.856375° West (WGS1984)
► UTM Northing: 5176395 meters (NAD 1983 Zone 10N)
► UTM Easting: 587656 meters (NAD 1983 Zone 10N)
► Elevation: 2405 feet (733.044 meters)
► Recording Interval: 15 minutes

Station Notes:
 ► Then in-water equipment is running, but an intermittent radio issue between the remote site and the transmitter is causing apparent data outages for stage, water temperature, water pressure, water conductivity, turbidity level, and turbidity water temperature. We are investigating the issue and hope to have a solution soon.
► The visibility and present weather sensor is currently disabled so the site does not use too much power during the winter time. The sensor will be re-enabled Spring 2025.
► The rain gage is unheated and will not accurately record in periods of ice or snow fall.
► This site records river stage only (not discharge).
► This station may experience problems during and after storm events due to extreme sediment load. Please use the gage height and discharge data with caution during these periods.

 This station is maintained by: Mount Rainier National Park, Geology and Imminent Threats Group.
Funding for the construction and maintenance of this stream gage was provided by the following organizations:
