Red Butte Creek discharge, temperature, and conductivity dataset

This dataset contains discharge, temperature, and conductivity observations collected longitudinally along Red Butte Creek. Data was collected at approximately 38 sites intermittently dispersed from the Foothill Drive Aquatic Station to the Knowltons Fork Aquatic Station, including tributaries. Periodic data collection began in June of 2014 and continued through the summer of 2015. Measurements were made at each of the sites to capture pre/post snowmelt, summer (high ET) and fall (low ET) conditions. Discharge was measured either using a SonTek Flow Tracker (velocity-area method) or a dilution gaging method (using the YSI 600 OMS and a salt tracer). Temperature and conductivity were measured at each discharge site using the YSI 600 OMS. GPS coordinates for each discharge site were recorded using a Garmin® GPSMAP 64. The purpose for these measurements is to determine areas of significant groundwater-surface water interaction.

本数据集汇集了沿红山脊溪纵向收集的排放量、温度和电导率观测数据。数据采集自大约38个站点，这些站点从山脊大道水生站至诺尔顿支流水生站之间不规则分布，包括支流。定期数据采集始于2014年6月，持续至2015年夏季。在每个站点上进行了测量，以捕捉雪融前后的状况、夏季（高蒸散量）以及秋季（低蒸散量）的条件。排放量测量采用SonTek Flow Tracker（速度-面积法）或稀释流量法（使用YSI 600 OMS和盐示踪剂）。温度和电导率在每个排放站点使用YSI 600 OMS进行测量。每个排放站点的GPS坐标使用Garmin® GPSMAP 64记录。这些测量的目的是确定地下水与地表水相互作用显著的区域。
