Total suspended solids data for Pennypack Creek, Philadelphia, PA, USA

This resource includes total suspended solids (TSS) data for Pennypack Creek, Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania. This data set is part of the Urban Critical Zone Cluster in the NSF Critical Zone Collaborative Network. Storms are sampled using ISCO samplers to obtain 1-liter samples in 15 - 60 minute intervals over the course of a storm. Samples are filtered and dried in the lab to determine the mass of suspended solids contained in each 1-liter sample, and converted to TSS in mg/L. Sampling sites are co-located with USGS stream gaging stations 01467048 (PPRH) and 01467042 (PPPI). Data are collected for the purpose of comparison with TSS data from other sites in the Urban CZ cluster.

本资源包含宾夕法尼亚州费城市郊彭尼帕克溪的总悬浮固体（TSS）数据。该数据集隶属于美国国家科学基金会（NSF）临界带协作网络中的城市临界带集群。通过ISCO采样器对风暴进行采样，以获取风暴过程中的每15至60分钟一次的1升样品。样品在实验室中经过过滤和干燥，以确定每个1升样品中悬浮固体的质量，并将其转换为每升毫克（mg/L）的TSS。采样点与USGS河流测站01467048（PPRH）和01467042（PPPI）共定位。数据收集的目的是为了与其他城市临界带集群中的TSS数据进行比较。
