This data repository contains the data of the key results from the scientific paper "Inferring sediment-discharge event types in an alpine catchment from sub-daily time series" submitted to HESS.
Sediment-discharge events were identified with an automatic detection routine using 15-min suspended sediment concentration and streamflow time series (event_list_vent.csv). The events were characterised with 16 sediment-discharge event metrics (training_data.csv), which were transformed and reduced with a principal component analysis to 7 principal components (training_data_reduced.csv). These were clustered a Gaussian mixture model (event_cluster_labels.csv). The clusters were interpreted with hydrometeorological catchment metrics (catchment_metrics.csv) into event types. The contribution of each event type to annual suspended sediment yield in metric tonnes (event_type_annual_sediment_yield.csv).
Figures for all events in each cluster can be found in the PDFs.
