QA Checklist

Longitudinal Profile

This section of the report contains a cross section longitudinal profile graph drawn using the regularly spaced cross section dimensions, 🗺️ *_dims_L3 feature class. See the QA checklist items in the Estimate Bankfull, Longitudinal Profile section.

Cross Section Metrics

This report section contains a Level 2 cross section metrics plot drawn using the regularly spaced cross section dimensions, 🗺️ *_dims_L3 feature class. See the QA checklist items in the Estimate Bankfull, Cross section Metrics section.

Ensure metrics values are smooth

Smooothing of metric values is important for accurate analysis. Check that the calculated metrics exhibit smooth transitions along the stream reach and do not show abrupt changes or inconsistencies that could indicate errors in data processing or analysis.

Radius of Curvature to Bankfull Width values are reasonable

Radius of curvature to bankfull width values should be assessed to ensure they are consistent with the stream’s planform characteristics. Check that the calculated values are reasonable and align with the expected geomorphic behavior of the channel.

Cross Section Profiles

This report section contains a cross section map and a cross section profile graph for each cross section in the reach. The map is drawn from the regularly spaced cross section dimensions feature class 🗺️ *_dims_L3 and the 🗺️ dem_hydro raster. The cross section profile graph is drawn using the cross section 🗺️ *_points feature class’s for each survey. see the QA checklist items in the Level 1 Report, Cross Section Profiles section.
