Stream Temperature - Gwynns Falls at Glyndon (GFGL) Water year 2006-2007

Metadata for BES site - Stream Temperature: Gwynns Falls at Glyndon (GFGL): In the Baltimore urban long-term ecological research (LTER) project, (Baltimore Ecosystem Study, BES) we use the watershed approach to evaluate integrated ecosystem function. The LTER research is centered on the Gwynns Falls watershed, a 17,150 ha catchment that traverses a gradient from the urban core of Baltimore, through older urban residential (1900 - 1950) and suburban (1950- 1980) zones, rapidly suburbanizing areas and a rural/suburban fringe. Stream temperature is continuously measured throughout the Gwynns Falls watershed along with supplemental sites around Baltimore County/City. A total of 22 sites contain sensors (HOBO Pro v2 Water Temperature Data Logger - U22-001) that take an instantaneous temperature reading every 2 minutes. These data are downloaded on a monthly basis. This dataset is for the Gwynns Falls at Glyndon. The site is drained by approximately 83 ha of old and new suburban and suburbanizing land use. Additional data for this site are posted at: http://waterdata.usgs.gov/md/nwis/nwisman?site_no=01589197 http://waterdata.usgs.gov/md/nwis/inventory/?site_no=01589180 Purpose: Long-term monitoring of stream temperature in a suburban catchment.
