Kings Creek (Konza Prairie) Stream Temperature, Intermittency, and Conductivity Data (AIMS_GP_KNZ_STIC)

This resource includes Stream Temperature, Intermittency, and Conductivity (STIC) data collected from the South Fork of Kings Creek within the Konza Prairie Biological Station. At the USGS gage located on the mainstem (06879560; est. 1979), Kings Creek is a 5th order intermittent stream draining 1059-ha of tallgrass prairie in the Kansas Flint Hills. These data were collected in support of the sampling goals of the Aquatic Intermittency effects on Microbiomes in Streams (AIMS) Project. These sensors were set to collect temperature and conductivity data every 15 minutes starting in May 2021, and the raw conductivity data were used to classify the timeseries into wet or dry readings at each timestep. Each .csv file is associated with a single site. Also included is a “ReadMe” file that includes author information, column descriptions, and site locations.

Data and processing are described in more detail in Zipper et al. (2025), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.envsoft.2025.106484
