Dissolved greenhouse gas concentrations derived from the NEON dissolved gases in surface water data product (DP1.20097.001)

This dataset contains partial pressure and molar concentration of dissolved carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide in 34 streams, rivers, and lakes calculated from headspace equilibration samples collected by the National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON). All input data were collected by NEON and is available on the NEON data portal at https://data.neonscience.org. Specifically, in situ dissolved gas concentrations were calculated from the air and headspace mixing ratios provided by the NEON Dissolved gases in surface water data product (DP1.20097.001), adjusted for sample and water temperature (DP1.20097.001, DP1.20264.001, DP1.20053.001), barometric pressure (DP1.20097.001, DP1.00004.001), and alkalinity (DP1.20093.001). The final set of inputs is found in the file, input_file, and the processing scripts are available at https://github.com/kellyaho/NEON-GHG-processing. The file, output_file, contains the raw outputs from running the input_file through the processing scripts. There are three outputs for each gas for each sample, one for each of three different pre-equilibration headspace mixing ratios (paired atmospheric samples, loess smoothing of atmospheric samples, and site-specific median). The file, GHG_final, contains the final dataset. This GHG_final uses the outputs from output_file calculated with paired atmospheric samples, and substitutes 0.01 μatm, 0.001 μM, 0.001 μatm, and 0.001 μM for any negative instances of pCH4, [CH4], pN2O, and [N2O], respectively.
