Turbidity and suspended sediment data for Dead Run, Baltimore County, MD, USA, 2013-2016

This resource includes turbidity data measured at five USGS gaging stations in Dead Run, Baltimore County, Maryland. Data were collected with a YSI EXO2 sonde outfitted with a turbidity sensor from 2013- 2016. The collection interval was initially 30 minutes then switched to 5 minutes beginning in 2015. Suspended sediment was collected using ISCO samplers for the purpose of establishing correlations between turbidity and suspended sediment concentration, thus yielding a continuous record of suspended sediment concentration. Instantaneous sediment mass flux was calculated from the product of USGS instantaneous discharge data and suspended sediment concentration. Aggregation of data to monthly and annual mass loads and yields from 2013 to 2016 is presented in Kemper et al 2019. This resource is intended to provide data cited in Kemper et al 2019 to replace the https://doi.org/10.4211/his-5653 citation.

本资源包含在马里兰州巴尔的摩县Dead Run的五个美国地质调查局（USGS）测站收集的浊度数据。数据使用配备浊度传感器的YSI EXO2声学探测器于2013年至2016年期间收集。最初的数据收集间隔为30分钟，自2015年起改为5分钟。悬浮泥沙的收集利用ISCO采样器进行，旨在建立浊度与悬浮泥沙浓度之间的相关性，从而获得悬浮泥沙浓度的连续记录。瞬时泥沙质量通量是通过美国地质调查局瞬时流量数据与悬浮泥沙浓度的乘积计算得出的。2013年至2016年的月度和年质量负荷以及产量汇总见Kemper等人2019年的研究。本资源旨在提供Kemper等人2019年研究中引用的数据，以替代https://doi.org/10.4211/his-5653的引用。
