Stage height, discharge, water temperature, pH, conductivity, and dissolved oxygen at Cascade Brook in Black Rock Forest, Cornwall, NY 1998 - 2015

Black Rock Forest established a stream monitoring station in the Cascade Brook watershed in 1998. The station is equipped with a 120-degree sharp-crested v-notch weir and was built to continuously monitor the flow, temperature, pH, conductivity, and dissolved oxygen content of the stream water in Cascade Brook in New York. The Cascade Brook watershed encompasses 135 hectares (334 acres), is generally a southern aspect, and has been little affected by human activity in the last century. The forest is deciduous and dominated by oak species. The station records data hourly, and while water chemistry sensors have been used intermittently through the decades, stage height and discharge has been measured consistently from1998 - 2015.
