2017 seasonal high frequency monitoring of Upper Clark Fork River (Montana, USA) dissolved carbon dioxide, pH, and electrical conductivity

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 metabolic regime to the floodplain restoration via inference of whole-ecosystem metabolism from the daily variation in carbon dioxide concentrations. Data are primarily measurements of dissolved carbon dioxide, pH, electrical conductivity, and temperature in well-mixed river thalweg water. Additional miscellaneous data were collected for quality control. Data are from late in the 2017 field season. Data were collected on the Upper Clark Fork River (USGS HUC 17010201) at the Galen and Racetrack sites northeast of Anaconda, Montana, USA. High frequency carbon dioxide and pH data were collected using field deployments SAMI sensors from Sunburst Sensors (Missoula, Montana, USA). Electrical conductivity data was collected with a HOBO sensor from Onset Computer Corporation (Bourne, Massachusetts, 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）项目资助的上克拉克福克河（Upper Clark Fork River）修复监测项目。本数据集的原始分析目标为通过二氧化碳浓度的日变化推演全生态系统代谢水平，以此评估河流代谢模式对河漫滩修复的响应。数据集核心采集内容为充分混匀的河流深泓段水体中的溶解二氧化碳、pH值、电导率与温度，同时额外采集各类辅助质控数据。数据采集时段为2017年野外考察末期，采集点位位于美国蒙大拿州阿纳康达市东北部的盖伦（Galen）与赛道（Racetrack）站点，隶属美国地质调查局（USGS）水文单元编码（HUC）17010201划定的上克拉克福克河范围。其中高频二氧化碳与pH数据采用美国蒙大拿州米苏拉市Sunburst Sensors公司生产的SAMI野外部署式传感器采集，电导率数据则采用美国马萨诸塞州伯恩市Onset Computer Corporation公司生产的HOBO传感器采集。
