Turbidity and suspended sediment data for Gwynns Falls, Baisman Run, and Pond Branch, Baltimore County and Baltimore City, MD, USA

This resource includes turbidity and suspended sediment data collected at two sampling stations located on Gwynns Falls in Baltimore County, MD, USA. In addition, two forested reference sites, Baisman Run and Pond Branch at Oregon Ridge, and two urban sites, Dead Run and Maiden's Choice Run (tributaries to Gwynns Falls), were sampled in Baltimore County and Baltimore City, MD, USA. Turbidity sensor data were collected at a 5-minute frequency using YSI EXO2 sondes. Suspended sediment was collected using ISCO samplers for the purpose of establishing correlations between turbidity and suspended sediment concentration. The six sites are co-located with USGS stream gages. This resource is part of the Baltimore Social-Environmental Collaborative Urban Integrated Field Laboratory supported by Department of Energy as well as the Critical Zone Collaborative Network supported by National Science Foundation. This resource includes a technical report summarizing the findings.
