Synthesis and Scaling of Hydrologic and Biogeochemical Data on the North Slope and Coastal Zone of Alaska, Version 1.0

Understanding land-ocean-atmosphere coupling is essential for developing an integrated view of the arctic system, and is a key component of the Study of the Northern Alaska Coastal System (SNACS) program. As an important contribution to SNACS, this data set contributes to an investigation of the linkage between hydrologic variables and constituent (nutrients and organic matter) fluxes. The overarching goal of the project of which this work is a part, is to develop a generalized understanding of discharge-constituent relationships in arctic basins. For this data set, water chemistry data were collected between May and August from sites on the Kuparuk, Sagavanirktok, and Colville rivers during 2006 and 2007.

理解陆-海-气耦合作用是构建北极系统整体认知的核心前提，同时也是阿拉斯加北部海岸系统研究（Study of the Northern Alaska Coastal System, SNACS）项目的关键组成部分。本数据集作为该项目的重要支撑成果，为探究水文变量与组分（营养盐、有机质）通量间的关联机制提供了数据基础。本研究所属项目的核心目标，是建立北极流域内径流与组分之间关联的普适性认知。本数据集的采集工作于2006年至2007年间开展，于每年5月至8月期间，在库帕鲁克河、萨加瓦尼尔特克河与科尔维尔河的采样点位收集了水化学数据。
