Stream discharge and temperature data collected within the East River, Colorado for the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory Watershed Function Science Focus Area (water years 2019 to 2022)
Abstract
This data package contains East River, Colorado stream discharge and temperature data for water years 2019 to 2022. This data was collected to understand hydrological processes occurring in the East River Watershed, Colorado, which is part of the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory Watershed Function Scientific Focus Area. Data includes instantaneous observed discharge using salt dillution and acoustic doppler velocimeter techniques, raw pressure transducer downloaded data, sub-hourly temperature as well as corrected water level and associated stream discharge and mean daily values. Notes on water level corrections, rating curve development and metadata provided. A rating curve is the translation of depth to streamflow. The rating curve can be used as a quantitative measure of the “quality of the data.” Data within this dataset is formatted using ESS-DIVE’s Hydrological Monitoring Reporting Format. This data package contains (1) a zip file (Stream_Discharge_Data_WY19-WY22.zip) containing stream discharge and temperature data organized by location; (2) an InstallationMethods file (InstallationMethods.csv) describing metadata about the installation; (3) a file-level metadata (flmd.csv) file that lists each file contained in the dataset with associated metadata; (4) a data dictionary (dd.csv) file that contains terms/column_headers used throughout the files along with a definition, units, and data type; (5) a locations metadatamore »

All data files are in non-proprietary formats (csv, png, or pdf formats). Please contact Rosemary Carroll for any support in accessing the files. Update on 2023-05-12: Additional data from WYs 2021 and 2022 were added. Additionally, the dataset was converted using ESS-DIVE’s Hydrological Monitoring Reporting Format. Data files were reformatted to match reporting format guidance, new metadata files were added, and files were converted from excel to CSV.},
