High frequency dissolved oxygen, specific conductance, and light from urban streams in Cleveland, OH and Denver, CO

Water quality sensors were placed in 3 urban streams in Cleveland, OH and 4 urban streams in Denver, CO to estimate stream metabolism and assess response to high flow events. MiniDOT (dissolved oxygen and temperature) and Onset (specific conductance) sensors were placed mid-channel near USGS gages. Light was measured as global horizontal irradiance (GHI) and supplied by SolCast. Data collection was part of the NSF STORMS project (PI Jefferson, co-PIs Costello, Bhaskar, Turner). Specific conductance, dissolved oxygen, and light were measured every 10 minutes. Sensors were removed during winter months to avoid damage. Datasets were cleaned to remove values when sensors were out of water, buried, and removed for maintenance/calibration.
