cqwMoRivOmaha {seawaveQ}

Continuously monitored (daily) data for 06610000 Missouri River at Omaha, Neb.

Description

Continuously monitored (daily) streamflow and sediment data for U.S. Geological Survey streamgage 06610000 Missouri River at Omaha, Neb., and streamflow and sediment anomalies.

Usage

cqwMoRivOmaha

Format

A data frame containing 2,922 daily observations of two hydrologic variables, streamflow and sediment, and streamflow and sediment anomalies. There are eight variables.

staid	character	USGS Station identification number
dates	date	date water-quality sample collected
dflow	numeric	daily mean streamflow, cubic feet per second
flowa30	numeric	30-day streamflow anomaly
flowa1	numeric	1-day streamflow anomaly
dsed	numeric	daily mean sediment concentration, milligrams per liter
seda30	numeric	30-day sediment anomaly
seda1	numeric	1-day sediment anomaly

Details

The streamflow and sediment anomalies were generated using the R package waterData (Ryberg and Vecchia, 2012).

Note

See Ryberg and Vecchia (2012) for more information on calculating the anomalies and for additional references documenting the use of streamflow anomalies in water-quality trend analysis studies.
