(Ton) Orcid: 0000-0003-4996-185X Content: The data is sorted by date, below a list of instruments and measurements used: Water level - collected with Keller DCX-22 pressure transducers corrected for air pressure - cable lenghts 5m and 10m - software to read data available at www.keller-druck.com - sensors could not be vertically referenced as no high precision GPS receiver was available - filename: *.IDC Vertical ADCP Discharge and Turbulence measurements - instrument: RDI Teledyne Workhorse ADCPs- 1200kHz operating frequency - three different instruments were used - mounted to a moving boat for discharge measurements - filename: *.PD0 - mounted to a rigid frame on the bed for turbulence measurements - data can be read in Matlab with the ADCPtools: https://sourceforge.net/projects/adcptools/ - a DGSP was mounted on top of the ADCP during discharge measurements Small stream discharge measurements - instrument: RDI Teledyne Stream Pro ADCP- 2000kHz operating frequency - Location: Bika catchment - filename *.PD0 Continuous Velocity Measurements with Horizontal ADCPs instrument: RDI Teledyne Workhorse Horizontal ADCP- 600kHz operating frequency- two instruments location: Rasau Jaja and Sanggau - filename *.000 Particle Size (LISST) instrument: Sequoia Scientific LISST 100 - this is the first generation of the instrument with limited storage and slow rs232 connection, 2MB internal memory only which is lost when the main battery is drained and no backup battery is installed - lowered slowly from the boat together with the bottle sampler - rigidly mounted to the bottom frame together with the coupled adcps - unfortunately the laser within the instrument became misaligned probably due to mechanical impact after the first measurement, and the data of all subsequent measurements is unusable - filename *.dat (scattering as raw data) *.zsc (scattering as csv) *.asc (particle size distribution as csv) Bathymetry instrument: Lowrance HDS 5 - Lowrance LMS 337c (external GPS)- single beam fish finder - due to the relatively low vertical accuracy of the internal and external GPS, there is no reliable vertical reference - the collected data is partially corrupted, as one cable that connected to the transducer was damaged, the damage of the cable was unfortunately only found when the survey was always over - filename *.slg, *.sl2 Salinity (Aandera) - aanderaa conductivity Sensor 3210 and logger 3634 - these are fairly old loggers that require and external battery and a complicated handling and post-processing, data was therefore not used and sensors were instead replaced after request of the main author Salinity (Citadel) instrument: RDI Teledyne Citadel - filename: *.ctd Turbidity / Backscatter - Analite NEP 495 (2pcs) - optical backscatter sensor without pressure sensor - no useable data recovered Hydrolab Datasonde DS5X - old instruments with multiple failures- no useable data recovered- filename: *.csv Water samples instrument: General Oceanics 5l vertical Niskin bottle - 200ml of the sample were split off into smaller bottles within a mixing bucket - vacuum filtered on membrane filter, oven dried and weighed - *.ods Bed Material - instrument: Eijkelkamp Van Veen grab, 2l - lowered to bottom with a rope - material was dried and 200g sieved on ASTM sieves - filename *.ods Side Scan Sonar - collected in cooperation with Rolf AAlto, Exeter University
