River Flow and Sediment Data for a Macro-Tidal Estuary, 2005 and 2007

Daily average flow data from the Xuren hydrologic station for 2005 and 2007 is included. The dataset also contains multi-year monthly riverine sediment discharge, along with salinity, suspended sediment concentration (SSC), and water velocity measurements from surveys in those years, compiled by Yuhan Yan for a research manuscript.

Use Cases

• Modeling the compound effects of river flooding and human activities on sediment transport based on daily flow and sediment discharge data.
• Analyzing seasonal or multi-year sediment discharge patterns based on the monthly riverine sediment concentration data.
• Calibrating or validating hydrodynamic models using the provided water velocity magnitude and direction measurements.
• Studying estuarine salinity gradients and their relationship with suspended sediments based on the salinity and SSC survey data.

Strengths

• Includes daily average flow data for two specific years (2005 and 2007).
• Contains multi-year monthly sediment discharge records.
• Provides complementary validation data types like salinity, SSC, and water velocity from field surveys.

Limitations

• Row count and total dataset size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
