Variables:
- ‘measHr’ = measurement hour. Data values range from -6 to 167. We
measured discharge (Q) hourly a total of 174 times (of which 168 were
continuous hours and analyzed in this study) from 5-13 July 2016,
beginning 13:00:09 UTC on 5 July 2016 and ending 10:37:57 UTC on 13
July 2016. The continuous 168 hour record starts at measHr = 0
(11:34:50 UTC on 6 July 2016) with the 6 non-continuous measurements
collected prior to measHr = 0 noted as negative measHr values.
- ’startYear’ = year at measurement start
- ’startMonth’ = month at measurement start
- ’startDay’ = day of month at measurement start
- ’startHour’ = UTC hour at measurement start
- ’startMinute’ = UTC minute at measurement start
- ’startSecond’ = UTC second at measurement start
- ’endYear’ = year at measurement end
- ’endMonth’ = month at measurement end
- ’endDay’ = day of month at measurement end
- ’endHour’ = UTC hour at measurement end
- ’endMinute’ = UTC minute at measurement start
- ’endSecond’ = UTC second at measurement start
- ’nFiles’ = number of ADCP profiles collected during a measHr
- ’nGood’ = number of ADCP profiles flagged as good or usable during
QA/QC for a measHr
- ’avgQ’ = average of all usable ADCP profiles for a measHr. Units =
m3 s-1’medQ’ = median of all
usable ADCP profiles for a measHr. Units = m3s-1
- ’minQ’ = minimum of all usable ADCP profiles for a measHr. Units =
m3 s-1
- ’maxQ’ = maximum of all usable ADCP profiles for a measHr. Units =
m3 s-1
- ’std’ = standard deviation of all usable ADCP profiles for a measHr.
- ’range’ = range of all usable ADCP profiles for a measHr. Units =
m3 s-1
- ‘startUtc’ = measurement start date and time in UTC stored as .mat
datetime variable
- ‘endUtc’ = measurement end date and time in UTC stored as .mat
datetime variable
