Water chemistry data for Green Lakes Valley, 2018

Recently, the link between air warming and stream chemistry fluxes at
GLV was evaluated by Crawford et al (2019) that showed strong
connection between the sum of average daily temperature at a monthly
time step and normalized fluxes of base cations and SO4--. They
explored the reasons for this relation evoking several direct and
indirect mechanisms and concluded that enhanced sulfide mineral
weathering in and around the rock glacier is a result of recent
warming-induced changes to minerals weathering. However, on the basis
of a pattern recognition analysis of base cations and major anions
concentrations we hypothesized that the observed trends in the GLV and
probably across the Rocky Mountains region resulted from a combination
of several mechanisms rather than warming trend alone. So the main
objective of this work is to re-examine the Niwot Ridge LTER long-term
data coupled with additional ancillary data sets to ascertain the
mechanisms instigating the observed trends.
