This dataset contains stream bed topography data from the Lower Montane site in the East River Watershed, Colorado. It is intended to support hydro-biogeochemical analyses for the Watershed Function Scientific Focus Area (SFA). The stream bed was surveyed using a RTK-GPS (Real-Time Kinematic Global Positioning System) and a total station at hundreds of locations during two field campaigns, conducted in October 2015 and October 2016. The two surveys were merged into a single product under the assumption of minimal changes in stream bed topography between the years. A LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) derived ground surface elevation product from 2015 (see reference below) was used to interpolate the stream bed topography and estimate water depth at the time of the LiDAR survey. The dataset includes three GeoTIFF products, two *.csv data files, and three *.csv metadata files. Feel free to contact the author with any questions.
