Specific conductivity in groundwater (DP1.20015.001)

Specific conductance is a proxy for the level of total dissolved solids of the groundwater as well as related to the redox potential. Conductivity may also be used as a tracer of distinct water masses for understanding flow. NEON measures of groundwater conductivity at high temporal resolution. Up to eight wells (and as low as three) are available per aquatic site. From NEON groundwater elevation measurements, the magnitude and direction of groundwater flow can be calculated, which may be coupled to better understand the exchange between groundwater and surface water. This data product includes continuous quality-controlled groundwater temperature captured every 5 minutes and reported as 5-minute instantaneous measurements and 30-minute averages.

比电导率（Specific Conductance）是地下水总溶解固体（Total Dissolved Solids）含量的替代指标，同时与氧化还原电位（Redox Potential）相关。电导率（Conductivity）还可作为不同水团的示踪剂，用于解析水流运动规律。NEON以高时间分辨率开展地下水电导率监测工作。每个水生监测点位最多可配置8口监测井（最少配置3口）。基于NEON的地下水水位监测数据，可计算得到地下水径流的流速与流向，结合前述监测数据可进一步深入解析地下水与地表水之间的交互过程。本数据集包含经持续质量管控的地下水温度监测数据：采集频率为每5分钟1次，数据以5分钟瞬时值与30分钟平均值两种形式对外发布。
数据发布延迟说明：当月采集的全部数据将于次月的第二个完整工作周内发布。
