Data and Numerical code for monitoring streambed scour/deposition with streamwater temperature as a tracer

Monitoring streambed elevation changes is important for many engineering and ecological applications. This contribution contains the data and the numerical code written in R used in the publication of DeWeese et al, (2017), who tested a new methodology based on stream water temperature as a signal to monitor local streambed elevation changes at the daily time scale. This contribution contains: (1) laboratory experiment time series of water temperature in the surface and within the sediment, (2) times series of sediment surface elevation changes in the laboratory, (3) field experiment time series of sediment elevation and (4) field experiment time series of surface and pore waters temperatures and (5) R code of the model to analyze the temperature data to extract streambed elevation changes and interstitial flows.
