Total suspended solids data for Pennypack Creek, Philadelphia, PA, USA

This resource includes total suspended solids (TSS) data for Pennypack Creek, Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania. This data set is part of the Urban Critical Zone Cluster in the NSF Critical Zone Collaborative Network. Storms are sampled using ISCO samplers to obtain 1-liter samples in 15 - 60 minute intervals over the course of a storm. Samples are filtered and dried in the lab to determine the mass of suspended solids contained in each 1-liter sample, and converted to TSS in mg/L. Sampling sites are co-located with USGS stream gaging stations 01467048 (PPRH) and 01467042 (PPPI). Data are collected for the purpose of comparison with TSS data from other sites in the Urban CZ cluster.
