Description :
This article explores how multi-scalar data can be used to visualize and test the performance of different river models at different scales. In turn, departures from the models are explored as a mechanism for guiding future work on process form linkages and development of appropriate sampling protocols. To make these comparisons, the AA. combine high-resolution, basin-extent data from field work and remote sensing with cross-scale graphical visualizations. The Nueces data (Texas) were collected with remote sensing methods and the Yellowstone data were collected through extensive field surveys.
