Abstract

In CEE 6660 Environmental and Hydrologic Data Analysis and Experimentation class this project building on prior project 1 analysis of Logan River Observatory (LRO) data, this study analyzes hydrologic variability and resilience along a longitudinal transect of the LRO using discharge and water temperature data. Exploratory data analysis techniques were applied to quantify flow variability, examine relationships between variables, and characterize hydrologic extremes. Results show strong seasonal structure, moderate inverse discharge temperature relationships, and distinct downstream attenuation of flow variability. Advanced methods including smoothing, flashiness metrics, and recession analysis provide insight into watershed response and resilience.

Name Value
Observed Variables Discharge (Streamflow) Water Temperature (WaterTemp_EXO)
Variable Description Various aquatic variables
Data Collection Method Measurements were made by a variety of instruments (specified by the method information in the file header) at 15 minute intervals. Measurements were recorded by a Campbell Scientific datalogger.
Data Processing Method Post processing has not been performed on these values. They are raw and provisional. But for this project I use raw data.
