Bear Valley Creek

This data set contains the data collected in Bear Valley Creek, Central Idaho for investigating flow hydraulics, climate changes and streambed mobility on habitat quality distribution.
The zip file contains the streambed bathymetry collected with the EAARL-A topobathymetric LiDAR along a 7km long reach of the upper Bear Valley Creek. It also contains the sediment patches with median grain size and sand fraction.
The file “WES16.xlsx” contains the water surface elevation collected in 2011 at a flow of 1.6 meter cubic per second.
The file “BearCreekCreek_EM_VIC_Air_Temperature.xlsx” contains the air temperature predicted with VIC model and ensemble mean climatic scenario from 1920 to 2090.
The file “BearValleyCreek_A1B-A1-EM-FutureScenarios.xlsx” contains the discharges predicted with VIC model and ensemble mean climatic scenario from 2011 to 2090.
The file “BearValleyCreek_EMscenario_Ecohydrailcs.xlsx” contains the weighted usable area and hydraulic habitat indexes predicted based on EM climate change scenario from 2011 to 2090.
The file “VIC_Discharge_Validation.xlsx” contains the comparison between observed and VIC predicted discharges.
The file \"Patch_Characteristics.xlsx\" contains the spawning habitat patch analysis to understand level of habitat fragmentation.
