Year 2003, 15 minute measurements of stage, water temperature, conductivity, dissolved oxygen, and pH in a small headwater stream draining draining a mainly forested catchment (55% forest + 19% wetland), Cart Cr., Newbury, MA.

Continuous measurements, every 15 minutes, were made of stage, water temperature, conductivity, dissolved oxygen, and pH in Cart Creek, Newbury, MA, a small headwater stream draining a mainly forested catchment (55% forest + 19% wetland). Measurements are for part of the ice free season (June – December). Discharge is determined from stage using discharge vs stage regressions. Several day gaps occur periodically due to removal for recalibration.

本数据集的监测对象为美国马萨诸塞州纽伯里的卡特溪（Cart Creek）：该溪流属于小型源头溪流（headwater stream），其汇水流域（catchment）以林地为主，其中森林占比55%、湿地占比19%。监测工作以每15分钟一次的频率开展，监测指标包括水位（stage）、水温（water temperature）、电导率（conductivity）、溶解氧（dissolved oxygen）及pH值。本次监测覆盖无冰期（ice free season）的部分时段（6月至12月）。流量（discharge）通过水位数据结合水位-流量回归关系（discharge vs stage regressions）推算得到。由于定期拆取仪器进行重新校准，监测数据会周期性出现若干为期数日的缺失间隙。
