Summary

Estimated provisional streamflow values (Messinger and Burgholzer, 201x) for streamgages in the Rappahannock, Piankatank, and York River Basins and the shifted, expanded ratings that were used to develop them are included in this dataset. This file contains source data, daily streamflow records and selected ratings that had been saved in the National Water Information Service database for water years 1991-2013. Microsoft Excel formulas that were used to compute the estimated provisional streamflow (AltFlow) tables are included, and may be used to extend the AltFlow record following the procedure described by Messinger and Burgholzer (2017), in Appendix 2. This release also contains the existing AltFlow record for the same streamgages [...]

Purpose

These datasets were developed to assess the reliability of provisional streamflow data for Virginia streamgages in real time. A companion report, Messinger, T., and Burgholzer, R.W., 2018, Rating stability and frequency and magnitude of shifts for streamgages in Virginia through 2013: U.S. Geological Survey Scientific Investigations Report, 91 pages, https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20175137, describes their development, validation, and some of their limits.
