This datalayer is a gridded data set of cell length, corresponding with an estimate of river length, for rivers in Plum Island Sound watershed. The resolution is 120 m x 120 m. This layer gives length of each grid cell (either as 120m if vertical or horizontal, or 169.7 if diagonal). This information is derived from the flow direction data file: WAT-RGIS-120m-FlowDirection.asc Provide length of river, uncorrected for sub grid cell meandering, which is assumed to be relativelty small.
This datalayer is a gridded data set that identifies for each pixel the stream order that drainage from the pixel initially enters into the river network. The resolution is 120 m x 120 m. Based on the flow direction in: WAT-RGIS-120m-FlowDirection.asc. First order streams at the 120m resolution are equivalent to third order when calculated at the pixel level from the drainage direction grid (i.e. 3rd order pixels are equivalent to 1st order streams, 4th order pixels are second order streams, etc). Idenitify the distribution of inputs from land to streams of different sizes.
This datalayer is a gridded data set of the estimated distance (km) to ocean from each point in the gridded river network. The resolution is 120 m x 120 m. Based on the flow direction in: WAT-RGIS-120m-FlowDirection.asc Provide the distance to ocean for each grid cell.
This datalayer is a gridded data set of the contributing area to each grid cell for rivers in Plum Island Sound watershed. The resolution is 120 m x 120 m. This layer gives drainage area (km2) of each grid cell based on the flow directions in: WAT-RGIS-120m-FlowDirection.asc Provide the drainage area for each grid cell.
During 2001, continuous measurements, every 15 minutes, were made of stage, water temperature, conductivity, dissolved oxygen, and pH in a small headwater stream, Fish Brook, Boxford, MA, draining a moderate sized, mixed land use watershed. Measurements are for part of the ice free season (June – December). Discharge could not be determined due to inadequate rating curve. Several day gaps occur periodically due to removal for recalibration.
During 2002, continuous measurements, every 15 minutes, were made of stage, water temperature, conductivity, dissolved oxygen, and pH in a small headwater stream, Fish Brook, Boxford, MA, draining a moderate sized, mixed land use watershed.

Several day gaps occur periodically due to removal for recalibration.
