ABSTRACT:

When analyzing time series of streamflow and associated water quality sensor data such as turbidity, researchers and managers often are interested in isolating storm events since that is when behavior is dynamic and physical processes can be inferred. In this presentation, we will present preliminary development of a web-based data analysis tool that can be used for hydrological event detection and analysis (HEDA). Currently, a lack of options exist for detecting, delineating and analyzing hydrological events that don’t require utilizing a programming environment such as R or MATLAB. We will present a first look at a web-based tool capable of interfacing with time series stored on the CUAHSI HydroServer and USGS NWIS databases and then performing subsequent analysis. We will demonstrate the event-based analysis that can be obtained from the HEDA tool as well as encourage feedback from potential users of the tool.

ABSTRACT:

Total phosphorus samples collected as part of the Vermont EPSCoR Research on Adaptation to Climate Change (RACC) project (EPS-1101317) and 15-min turbidity monitoring data for the Mad River. Collected at the location of the US Geological Survey stream gage (#04288000).

ABSTRACT:

High-frequncy turbidity sensor data from six monitoring locations within the Mad River watershed in central Vermont collected between 2013 and 2015. Data set also includes tipping bucket rainfall data from seven rain gauges deployed in the Mad River Watershed and soil moisture data.
