Description:We have assembled a comprehensive and publicly accessible U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) stream flow measurement data set, called HYDRoSWOT, from a USGS National Water Information System archive of acoustic Doppler current pro filer river discharge measurements collected from a wide range of rivers throughout the United States. The data set provides a wealth of information on the range ofhydraulic characteristics of river cross sections in the United States. Preliminary exploration of the data set,filtered for quality control, indicates that rivers tend toward consistent and predictable forms as discharge increases. The ratio of maximum ‐to‐mean depth is highly predictable and is remarkably consistent across all river sizes and discharges. Distributions of hydraulic characteristics provide a large ‐scale
