Concentration of dissolved organic carbon in water samples taken from the Upper Clark Fork River (Montana, USA) during water years 2017 and 2018 (1 Oct 2016 - 30 Sep 2018)

These data were collected by the University of Montana and Montana State University to support the Upper Clark Fork River restoration monitoring project supported by the US NSF Long Term Research in Environmental Biology (LTREB) program. The original analytical intent for these data was to assess the response of river dissolved organic carbon to the floodplain restoration. Data are Aurora Total Organic Carbon combustion analyses of the concentration of organic carbon dissolved in filtered samples of well-mixed river thalweg water. Data are from the 2017 and 2018 water year (1 Oct 2016 to 30 Sep 2018). Data were collected on the Upper Clark Fork River (USGS HUC 17010201) at project sites distributed along the river from the vicinity of Anaconda to Missoula, Montana, USA.本数据集由蒙大拿大学与蒙大拿州立大学采集，用于支撑由美国国家科学基金会（US NSF）环境生物学长期研究（Long Term Research in Environmental Biology, LTREB）计划资助的上克拉克福克河修复监测项目。本数据集的初始分析目标为评估河流溶解性有机碳对河漫滩修复工程的响应。数据采用极光总有机碳（Aurora Total Organic Carbon）燃烧分析法，对充分混匀的河流深槽水体经过滤后的样品中溶解性有机碳浓度开展检测。数据采集时段为2017与2018水文年（2016年10月1日至2018年9月30日），采集点位位于美国蒙大拿州境内上克拉克福克河（美国地质调查局水文单元代码17010201，USGS HUC 17010201）沿岸，分布范围从阿纳康达附近延伸至米苏拉。
