Wissahickon Metabolism Data

This dataset is the data used in: Ledford, SH, MJ Kurz, and L Toran. 2021. Contrasting Raz-Rru stream metabolism and nutrient uptake downstream of urban wastewater effluent sites, Freshwater Science 40(1).

It contains chemistry from grab samples taken during Raz/Fluorescein plateau injections at two sites in September 2019. Samples were also analyzed for nitrate, chloride, and total dissolve phosphorus. Uptake calculations for Raz, nitrate, and phosphorus are included. A range of sites (see paper for description) had loggers collecting 15-minute data which included depth, temperature, dissolved oxygen, specific conductivity, and pH. Also included are the full records from three fluorometers that were deployed during each test, collecting at 10-second intervals. The ReadMe file include more information about the injection tests and analyses. -9999 is a placeholder throughout for missing data.
