The ADCP was attached on a rigid frame close to the bow, in a down-facing orientation, and the transducer submerged at 40-60 cm depth. Data were collected while the boat crossed the river perpendicular to the flow. Boat position during the transect was recorded using an external GPS unit with horizontal accuracy of <5 m. Between 1 and 5 such transects were collected, depending on the site, with total discharge reproducibility typically better than 6%. Additional flow velocity data were collected during suspended sediment sampling in August 2018 and May 2019 while the boat was drifting with the current.\n\nADCP data were collected and initially processed using WinRiver II software. The data were then exported and further processed using Velocity Mapping Toolbox. Using multiple river cross-sectional transects, a mean cross-section was created for each sampling date, ensuring it was perpendicular to the river channel, and calculating the average stream-wise flow velocity field across the river channel. The data were then additionally processed in MATLAB 2019b, filling data gaps, removing erroneous outlier data, and calculating total discharge. Both the raw flow velocity (WinRiver-exported) data and the processed flow velocity and discharge data are included in this dataset.\n\nDepth profiles of suspended sediments were collected in August 2017, August 2018, and May 2019 at both sites. Only surface sediment samples were collected in February 2018. Sediment samples were collected at various depths using a modified Van Dorn style depth sampler while the boat was drifting with the flow. Samples were transferred into 10 L sterile polyethylene bags, ensuring complete transfer of all sediment particles. The bags were weighed and the samples filtered within 24h using 0.2μm polyethersulfone (PES) membrane and freeze-dried back in the lab. Particle size distributions of dried samples were measured using laser diffractometry. The organic carbon concentration (as weight %) was measured using coupled elemental analysis - isotope ratio mass spectrometry (EA-IRMS) after carbonate removal using liquid HCl.\n\nAll methods are described in detail in the supporting documentation.","metadataDate":"2026-06-29T18:26:38","notGEMINI":true,"onlineResources":[{"url":"https://catalogue.ceh.ac.uk/datastore/eidchub/86f17d61-141f-4500-9aa5-26a82aef0b33","name":"Download the data","description":"Download a copy of this data","function":"fileAccess","type":"OTHER"},{"url":"https://data-package.ceh.ac.uk/sd/86f17d61-141f-4500-9aa5-26a82aef0b33.zip","name":"Supporting information","description":"Supporting information available to assist in re-use of this dataset","function":"information","type":"OTHER"}],"pointsOfContact":[{"familyName":"Baronas","givenName":"J.J.","organisationName":"University of Cambridge","role":"pointOfContact","email":"jotautas.baronas@gmail.com","fullName":"Baronas, J.J.","pointOfContact":"University of Cambridge"}],"publicationDate":"2020-07-24T00:00:00.000Z","publishers":[{"organisationName":"NERC Environmental Information Data Centre","organisationIdentifier":"https://ror.org/04xw4m193","role":"publisher","email":"info@eidc.ac.uk"}],"resourceIdentifiers":[{"code":"https://catalogue.ceh.ac.uk/id/86f17d61-141f-4500-9aa5-26a82aef0b33"},{"code":"10.5285/86f17d61-141f-4500-9aa5-26a82aef0b33","codeSpace":"doi"}],"resourceType":{"value":"dataset"},"responsibleParties":[{"familyName":"Baronas","givenName":"J.J.","organisationName":"University of Cambridge","role":"author","email":"jotautas.baronas@gmail.com","nameIdentifier":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4027-3965","fullName":"Baronas, J.J."},{"familyName":"Tipper","givenName":"E.T.","organisationName":"University of Cambridge","role":"author","email":"ett20@cam.ac.uk","nameIdentifier":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3540-3558","fullName":"Tipper, E.T."},{"familyName":"Bickle","givenName":"M.J.","organisationName":"University of Cambridge","role":"author","email":"mb72@cam.ac.uk","nameIdentifier":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8889-3410","fullName":"Bickle, M.J."},{"familyName":"Stevenson","givenName":"E.I.","organisationName":"University of Cambridge","role":"author","email":"eis22@cam.ac.uk","nameIdentifier":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3907-443X","fullName":"Stevenson, E.I."},{"familyName":"Hilton","givenName":"R.G.","organisationName":"Durham University","role":"author","email":"r.g.hilton@durham.ac.uk","nameIdentifier":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0499-3332","fullName":"Hilton, R.G."},{"familyName":"Baronas","givenName":"J.J.","organisationName":"University of Cambridge","role":"pointOfContact","email":"jotautas.baronas@gmail.com","fullName":"Baronas, J.J.","pointOfContact":"University of Cambridge"},{"organisationName":"NERC EDS Environmental Information Data Centre","organisationIdentifier":"https://ror.org/04xw4m193","role":"custodian","email":"info@eidc.ac.uk"},{"organisationName":"NERC Environmental Information Data Centre","organisationIdentifier":"https://ror.org/04xw4m193","role":"publisher","email":"info@eidc.ac.uk"},{"organisationName":"University of Cambridge","organisationIdentifier":"https://ror.org/013meh722","role":"rightsHolder","email":"enquiries@enterprise.cam.ac.uk"},{"organisationName":"Durham University","organisationIdentifier":"https://ror.org/01v29qb04","role":"rightsHolder","email":"info@dcc.ac.uk"}],"rightsHolders":[{"organisationName":"University of Cambridge","organisationIdentifier":"https://ror.org/013meh722","role":"rightsHolder","email":"enquiries@enterprise.cam.ac.uk"},{"organisationName":"Durham University","organisationIdentifier":"https://ror.org/01v29qb04","role":"rightsHolder","email":"info@dcc.ac.uk"}],"spatialReferenceSystems":[{"code":"http://www.opengis.net/def/crs/EPSG/0/4326","title":"WGS 84"}],"spatialRepresentationTypes":["textTable"],"spatialResolutions":[{"distance":"100","uom":"urn:ogc:def:uom:EPSG::9001"}],"temporalExtents":[{"begin":"2017-08-23","end":"2019-05-21"}],"title":"Flow velocity, discharge, and suspended sediment compositions of the Irrawaddy and Salween Rivers, 2017-2019","topicCategories":[{"value":"inlandWaters","uri":"http://inspire.ec.europa.eu/metadata-codelist/TopicCategory/inlandWaters"}],"topics":["http://onto.nerc.ac.uk/CEHMD/topic/7","http://onto.nerc.ac.uk/CEHMD/topic/16","http://onto.nerc.ac.uk/CEHMD/topic/9","http://onto.nerc.ac.uk/CEHMD/topic/13"],"type":"dataset","uri":"https://catalogue.ceh.ac.uk/id/86f17d61-141f-4500-9aa5-26a82aef0b33","useConstraints":[{"value":"This resource is available under the terms of the Open Government Licence","code":"license","uri":"https://eidc.ac.uk/licences/ogl/plain"}]}
