Stream discharge, stage, electrical conductivity & temperature dataset from Otemma glacier forefield, Switzerland (from July 2019 to October 2021)

Stream data collected in the Otemma forefield (Switzerland) from July 2019 to Ocober 2021.<br> Data were collected by the research teams of Bettina Schaefli² and Stuart N. Lane¹. ¹ Institute of Earth Surface Dynamics (IDYST), University of Lausanne, 1015 Lausanne, Switzerland ² Institute of Geography (GIUB), University of Bern, 3012 Bern, Switzerland For further information, please contact: [e-mail] [e-mail] <strong>Description of data </strong> A detailed description of the dataset is provided in the <strong>data_description_analysis.pdf</strong> file. In particular, the methodology and stage-discharge rating curves are provided in this file. Stream data were measured in three locations from glacier snout (Station 1); after the outwash plain (Station 2) and at the end of the glacier forefield (Station 3) (<strong>see overview_GS.png</strong>). A <strong>shapefile </strong>is also provided (coordinate system LV95). 2 datasets are available in the data.zip file: <strong>River_2019_2021_10T.csv</strong> : contains the measured River Electrical conductivity (EC) [μS/cm], Stage [meters] and Temperature [°C] data for all stations in a tidy data format (see pdf for detailed description), with a 10 minutes timestep. <strong>Discharge2020_10T.csv </strong>&amp;<strong> Discharge2021_10T.csv </strong>: contains the estimated discharge [m³/s] at Station 1 and Station 2 from July 2020 to October 2021 and estimated error (2 standard deviations) in a tidy data format (see pdf for detailed description), with a 10 minutes timestep. Additionally, the point discharge measurements covering peak summer discharge to minimal winter baseflow are provided in the <strong>Point_discharge_measurements_2020_2021.xlsx</strong> file. Plots of river parameters and discharge are also provided in data.zip for vizualisation.
