These data were used to establish the general substrate material size of the streambed as it may affect the hydraulic boundary layer of the stream and the resulting vertical stream velocity distribution. The data were used in the Larger Work to classify the streams into rough categories based upon the median grain size. However, these are considered to be detailed and high-quality datasets which could be used to further explore the morphological or hydraulic characteristics of these stream sites.
