Selected sediment data and results from regression models, modified Einstein Procedure, and loads estimation for the Nemadji River, 1973-2016

This data set includes new and historical sediment data collected at the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) streamgage on the Nemadji River near South Superior, Wisconsin (station number 04024430) from 1973 through 2016. The data were used in a comparison study of stream sediment collection and laboratory techniques for characterizing suspended sediment, bedload, and total sediment loads. Data results included in this data release include 1) suspended-sediment concentration data collected in 2015-16 using U.S. Geological Survey and Wisconsin and Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) methods; 2) streambed material particle size, measured bedload, total sediment loads, and model archive for the modified Einstein procedure for 2015-16 data; 3) data for raw and adjusted suspended sediment concentration, sediment rating curves, and analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) statistical model archive and results for USGS data from 1973-86 and Wisconsin and Minnesota DNR data from 2006-16; and 4) mean daily suspended sediment and total sediment loads data for 2008-2016.
