Meadowbrook Creek Chloride and Streamflow Data

This dataset contains chloride concentration, streamflow, and specific conductivity data for three water quality monitoring sites at Meadowbrook Creek in central New York: the disconnected headwater (43.0313°, -76.1148°), the transition site (43.0399°, -76.0829°), and the connected outlet (43.0308°, -76.0705°). Chloride concentration data were collected by measuring individual grab samples using a Dionex-ICS 2000. Streamflow data were compiled by constructing rating curves using stage data recorded by automated stream gauges at each of the three monitoring sites and individual streamflow measurements using a Sontek-IQ Plus and a handheld SonTek/YSI FlowTracker Acoustic Doppler Velocimeter. Specific conductivity data were also collected by the automated stream gauges at each site.
