Abstract: ABSTRACTRemote sensing could facilitate efficient characterization of river systems for research and management purposes, provided that suitable image data are available and that the information derived therefrom is reliable. This study evaluated the utility of public domain multispectral images for estimating flow depths in a small stream and a larger gravel‐bed river, using data acquired through a task‐oriented consortium and the National Agricultural Imagery Program (NAIP). Field measurements were used to calibrate image‐derived quanti...
