Use of Sediment Rating Curves and Optical Backscatter Data to Characterize Sediment Transport in the Upper Yuba River Watershed, California, 2001–03
Figure 12
Relation of bed-load transport to instantaneous streamflow for the Middle Yuba River (11410000) and South Yuba River (11417500) gaging stations in the upper Yuba River watershed, California.
Bed-load rating curves were developed using an empirical transport model for mixed-size sediment (Wilcock and Crowe, 2003). Note that the bed-load transport was developed only for the range of flows observed during the study period from 2001 to 2003.
