Dataset for: "Unprecedented suspended solids load caused by record-breaking extremes in southern Brazil: the May 2024 event"

Dataset of a multi-proxy approach to estimate suspended solids (SS) discharge and mass budget in the Patos Lagoon (Brazil) during the May 2024 extreme event. Results are presented by date (from April 1 to June 30, 2024) and tributary/region (Guaíba River, Camaquã River, São Gonçalo Channel - SGC, and Inlet). The SS discharge dataset (discharge_multiproxy.csv) contains the minimum, median, and maximum results for both SS concentration and discharge, along with the water discharge data. Similarly, the SS mass budget dataset (budget_multiproxy.csv) includes the resulting minimum, median, and maximum values for the daily budget.
