Discharge, channel width, and sinuosity change with time. The channel width is the average of 10 measurements downstream of the upper 5 m, the straight reach influenced by the input conditions. The sinuosity is measured downstream of the first bend and does not include the straight section immediately downstream of the inlet. Dips in the sinuosity are associated with cutoffs.
