This data publication contains average streamflow data reported every 15 minutes for two flumes, Abbot Creek and Lunch Fork, in the Coram Experimental Forest from October 2004 to present. The Abbot Creek flume is located approximately 200 meters downstream from the spring-fed source of Abbot Creek. The Lunch Fork flume is located on the Lunch Fork of Abbot Creek just above the confluence of Abbot Creek and the Lunch Fork. A sediment dam was constructed in 1974 immediately above the Abbot Creek flume to prevent sediment build-up in the flume. The Coram Experimental Forest (CEF) was established in 1933 to provide information on how to manage western larch forests. Various silviculture experiments have been conducted at CEF over the years (Shearer and Kempf, 1999) and the associated effects on the watershed monitored. This data publication is a second edition and includes all of the data in the first edition, with some data edits, additional years of data, an improved map, and minor updates to the metadata. Data edits include estimates for missing data, the addition of data in 2010 that was originally thought to be missing, as well as the addition of data flags added to indicate unreliable data.
Original metadata date was 09/29/2015. Minor updates to the metadata on 10/09/2015 along with the addition of more data. Minor metadata updates on 12/07/2016. On 01/20/2017 data were updated to include streamflow data for 2016, and metadata updated accordingly.
