Stream Temperature - Scotts Level Branch (SCLB) Water year 2006-2007

Metadata for BES site - Stream Temperature: Scotts Level Branch (SCLB): In the Baltimore urban long-term ecological research (LTER) project, (Baltimore Ecosystem Study, BES) we use the watershed approach to evaluate integrated ecosystem function. The LTER research is centered on the Gwynns Falls watershed, a 17,150 ha catchment that traverses a gradient from the urban core of Baltimore, through older urban residential (1900 - 1950) and suburban (1950- 1980) zones, rapidly suburbanizing areas and a rural/suburban fringe. Stream temperature is continuously measured throughout the Gwynns Falls watershed along with supplemental sites around Baltimore County/City. A total of 22 sites contain sensors (HOBO Pro v2 Water Temperature Data Logger - U22-001) that take an instantaneous temperature reading every 2 minutes. These data are downloaded on a monthly basis. This dataset is for Scotts Level Branch just northeast of Liberty Rd (State Route 26). The site drains an area of 837 hectare consisting of suburban and urban land use.

巴尔的摩生态研究（Baltimore Ecosystem Study, BES）站点元数据——溪流温度：斯科茨莱夫特溪（Scotts Level Branch, SCLB）
在巴尔的摩城市长期生态研究（Long-Term Ecological Research, LTER）项目（即巴尔的摩生态研究（Baltimore Ecosystem Study, BES））中，我们采用流域方法评估综合生态系统功能。该LTER研究以格温斯福尔斯流域（Gwynns Falls watershed）为核心，这片面积达17150公顷的集水区涵盖了从巴尔的摩城市核心区，依次穿过1900-1950年建成的老旧城市居住区、1950-1980年建成的郊区地带、快速郊区化区域直至城乡交错带的完整土地利用梯度。
格温斯福尔斯流域内以及巴尔的摩县/市周边的补充监测站点均持续开展溪流温度监测。共计22个站点部署了HOBO Pro v2型水温数据记录仪（U22-001），该设备每2分钟采集一次瞬时水温数据，监测数据每月下载一次。
本数据集对应位于自由路（26号州道）东北侧的斯科茨莱夫特溪站点。该站点控制流域面积为837公顷，土地利用类型以郊区和城市用地为主。
