The site was established after the 2009 Station Fire and recorded a series debris flows in the first winter after the fire. The data include three types of time-series:  \n(1) 1-minute time series of rainfall, soil water content, channel bed pore pressure and temperature, and flow stage recorded by radar and laser distance meters (ArroyoSecoContinuous.csv);  \n(2) 10-Hz time series of flow stage recorded by the laser distance meter during rain storms (ArroyoSecoStormLaser.csv), and  \n(3) 2-second time series of rainfall and channel bed pore pressure and temperature during rain storms (ArroyoSecoStormPressureRain.csv).  \nThe laser and radar distance meters are suspended above the pore pressure sensor mounted in the bedrock of the channel. The equations for converting the distance measurements into flow stage above the pressure sensor (or stage of the stationary bed surface during times of no flow) are given by the equations \nStage_laser (meters) = 2.107 meters \u2013 Distance_laser (meters), and \nStage_radar (meters) = 2.156 meters \u2013 Distance_radar (feet)*0.3048 \nDetails of this study are described in the journal article: \nKean, J.
