Accelerometer scour monitors were deployed on the Sauk River, Washington during Water Year 2018 as part of a study on the timing of streambed scour in salmon-spawning habitat. This data release contains data of the three-dimensional orientation recorded at 15-minute intervals for the accelerometer monitors. Each accelerometer scour monitor was comprised of one to two individual accelerometers that were deployed in a vertical profile within the streambed. Thirty-one accelerometer scour monitors were deployed, but 7 accelerometer accelerometer scour monitors were recovered. This data release contains the geospatial information about the 31 accelerometer scour monitors that were deployed and three-dimensional orientation for the 7 accelerometer scour monitors that were recovered.

Streambed scour of salmon (Oncorhynchus spp.) redds in the Sauk River, Northwestern Washington
The autumn and winter flood season of western Washington coincides with the incubation period of many Pacific salmon (Onchorhynchus spp.) populations. During this period, salmon embryos incubating within gravel nests called “redds” are vulnerable to mobilization of surrounding sediment during floods. As overlying sediment is transported downstream, the vertical position of the streambed can be lowAuthorsAndrew S. Gendaszek - Connect
