Wells NERR sediment temperature and porewater data 2021-2022

This resource includes sediment temperature and porewater data from low-, mid-, and high-marsh sites at Wells National Estuarine Research Reserve (WNERR) in Wells, Maine USA. Multi-depth sediment temperature was collected using a T.rod.X (Alpha Mach, Canada) at depths of 0, 5, 10, 20, 50, and 100 cm at each location. Shallow monitoring wells were co-located with temperature probes and equipped with conductivity, temperature, depth (CTD) loggers (Solinst, Canada) to continuously record water pressure, conductivity, and temperature. A CTD logger was also deployed in the tidal channel/creek for periods when the WNERR water quality monitoring station was not active. Sediment temperature, monitoring well, and creek data were collected every fifteen minutes. Temperature probes were deployed on September 29, 2021 and remained in the field through September 8, 2022, with some data loss due to logger failure. CTD loggers were deployed on September 29, 2021 and collected on June 6, 2022, with some data loss due to frozen conditions and logger failure.
