Formation of meandering streams in a young floodplain within the Yarlung Tsangpo Grand Canyon in the Tibetan Plateau

<p>For submission to the Journal of Geophysical Research Letters, the accompanying dataset comprises seven Excel sheets that encapsulate comprehensive measurements and observations of two meandering streams within the Cuoka floodplain, located in the Yarlung Tsangpo Grand Canyon. The specific contents of each sheet are as follows:</p> <ol> <li> <p><strong>Width</strong>: This sheet documents the varying widths of the main and tributary streams throughout different segments of the Cuoka floodplain.</p> </li> <li> <p><strong>Meander Center Coordinate at 46R</strong>: Contains the GPS coordinates for the center points of meander bends at the designated 46R marker, providing spatial data essential for geomorphological analysis.</p> </li> <li> <p><strong>Geometric Data</strong>: Includes detailed geometric parameters such as meander wavelength, amplitude, and radius of curvature, which are critical for understanding the morphodynamic characteristics of the streams.</p> </li> <li> <p><strong>Migration of Main and Tributary Streams</strong>: Tracks the lateral migration rates and patterns of both streams, offering insights into the dynamic processes shaping the floodplain over time.</p> </li> <li> <p><strong>Elevation from the Water Source</strong>: Presents elevation data from the origin of the streams to their current endpoints, aiding in the analysis of gradient-driven sediment transport and deposition mechanisms.</p> </li> </ol> <p>This dataset serves as a fundamental resource for elucidating the formative and evolutionary processes of meandering streams in a geologically unique setting, contributing to broader discussions on fluvial dynamics and landscape development.</p>
