This repository contains datasets and code for the manuscript entitled, "Scale dependent spatial structuring of mountain river large bed elements maximizes flow resistance" that is consistent with the submission requirements of the journal Geomorphology.
Files and associated data in this repository are summarized below:
Geospatial data – The zip file entitled ‘Final_LBE_Polygons.zip’ include a shapefile and supporting files for the final set of mapped LBEs. Additional geospatial data including those necessary to reproduce Figures 1, 3, 5, 6, 7, and 9 are available from the senior author with the permission of Yuba Water Agency.
Figures - Data to reproduce Figures 2, 8, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, S2, S9, and S15 are provided as Microsoft excel, csv, and/or R script files. ‘S’ is shorthand for supporting indicating a figure in the supplementary materials file. The following additional raw data files are also available:
Figure_10_Raw_Data.xlsx – Tabular data of cross-sectional polygons with LBE areas per cross-sectional polygon for each discharge dependent set of LBEs in the ‘LBE_Areas_by_station’ tab and cross-sectional polygon areas in the ‘Station_Areas’ tab. Units are English.
Figure_11_Raw_Data.xlsx - Tabular data of all LBES-to-LBE dimensional and non-dimensional spacings for each LBE for each discharge-dependent LBE dataset and summary statistics (e.g. average and median) non-dimensional spacings.
Files to reproduce Figures S10-S14 include necessary raw data contained in several csv files and code files written in the R programming language used to generate the final figures.
Tables - Data to reproduce Tables 3, 4, and 5 are provided as Microsoft excel files.
