UK Upland Water Monitoring Network Rivers Summary Data

This dataset and associated Shiny App (https://scotland.shinyapps.io/sg-srtmn-data/) were developed to allow users to visualise quality controlled data from streams and loch outflows monitored as part of the UK Upland Waters Monitoring Network (UWMN). A range of temperature summary metrics have been generated for each of the sites, from daily maximum, mean or minimum river temperatures depending on the metrics selected. Metrics are only generated where data is available for >95% of the time period. Users should familarise themselves with the 'Metrics' and 'How to use data' pages of the associated Shiny App for details on how each of the metrics are calculated and how they should be interpreted.

The UWMN was initially established as the UK Acid Water Monitoring Network (UKAWMN) in 1988 to provide information on status and trends in the chemistry and biology of upland waters in response to atmospheric deposition of acidifying pollutants. In recent years the network was diversified and is a valuable resource for understanding the effects of multiple stressors on upland freshwater environments, including climate change. Continuous temperature monitoring was added to the network to support this broader remit and includes monitoring of river temperatures (often at loch outflows).

本数据集及配套Shiny应用（https://scotland.shinyapps.io/sg-srtmn-data/）旨在支持用户可视化英国高地水域监测网络（UK Upland Waters Monitoring Network, UWMN）所监测的溪流与湖泊出水口的质控数据。针对各监测站点，已根据所选指标类型，基于日最高、平均或最低河流水温生成了一系列水温汇总指标。仅当对应监测时段内数据有效覆盖率超过95%时，方可生成相关指标。用户需仔细查阅配套Shiny应用中的「指标说明」与「数据使用指南」页面，以了解各项指标的计算方法与解读规范。

UWMN最初于1988年以「英国酸性水域监测网络（UK Acid Water Monitoring Network, UKAWMN）」之名成立，旨在为研究高地水域的化学与生物学状态及变化趋势提供数据支撑，以响应酸性污染物的大气沉降问题。近年来该网络已完成扩展转型，成为研究包括气候变化在内的多重胁迫因子对高地淡水生态系统影响的宝贵数据资源。为适配这一更广范围的研究目标，网络新增了连续水温监测模块，其中包含河流水温（多取自湖泊出水口）监测。
