Continuous discharge (DP4.00130.001)

This data product describes the volume of water flowing through a stream or river cross-section during a given period of time. For each NEON stream or river site, site-specific stage-discharge rating curve equations are derived from point observations of gauge height and discharge. Continuous sensor measurements of surface water pressure are used to derive water column height. The rating curve equations are applied to water column height to derive continuous stream discharge. Latency: Data collected in any given month are published during the second full week of the following month.
