Remote sensing of river discharge (RSQ) estimates derived from multi-temporal Landsat width observations and BAM/geoBAM discharge inversion algorithms

This repository provides three data files in CSV format:
1. Gauge name, lat/lon information
2. Gauge name, date, and multi-temporal river width extracted from Landsat
3. Gauge name, date, and BAM/geoBAM estimates of river discharge with monthly Q priors

Note: the multi-temporal river width data were extracted from Landsat imageries using RivWidthCloud, where the river centerline/orthogonal line definition and the cross-section sampling strategies were made prior to, and different from Feng et al. (2022). So the width values may be different from Feng et al. (2022) at some locations due to these differences. The discharge estimates were derived from BAM/geoBAM algorithms with width-only observations. More details of the technical workflow and the inner workings of BAM/geoBAM were provided in the literature below and papers therein.
