Geomorphic applications of stream-gage information.

摘要: In the United States, several thousand stream gages provide what typically is only source of continuous, long-term streamflow and channel-geometry information for locations being monitored. this paper, geomorphic content stream-gage information, previous potential applications in fluvial research various possible limitations are described. Documented include studies hydraulic geometry, channel bankfull characteristics, sediment transport response to types disturbance. Potential determine effectiveness large floods in-stream habitat change For certain applications, spatial, temporal data may render limited use; however, such often considerable value enable or enhance investigations.
