Differential concentration discharge for the upper and lower reaches of the East River Watershed, Colorado

This dataset captures the difference in concentration over the difference in discharge across upper and lower reaches of the East River watershed for 2015 and 2016 water years. The East River is part of the Watershed Function Scientific Focus Area (WFSFA) located in the Upper Colorado River Basin, United States. Herein, the upper reach is defined as the segment between EAQ (East Above Quigley) and EBC (East Below Copper), and the lower reach is defined as the segment between EBC and PH (Pump House). The overall purpose of the dataset is to provide a better accounting of the gains, losses or fractional solute turnover between sampling stations. Compiled data for the two segments (EAQ to EBC and EBC to PH) are provided in two Excel files, and the same data are provided in csv format in the corresponding zip files.

本数据集记录了2015与2016水文年度内，伊斯特河（East River）流域上下游河段的浓度差值与流量差值的对应关系。伊斯特河隶属于位于美国科罗拉多河上游流域的流域功能科学聚焦区（Watershed Function Scientific Focus Area, WFSFA）。本研究中，上游河段被定义为EAQ（East Above Quigley）与EBC（East Below Copper）之间的河段，下游河段则被定义为EBC（East Below Copper）与PH（Pump House）之间的河段。本数据集的核心目的是更精准地核算各采样站点间的溶质增益、损耗及分数溶质周转量。两段河段（EAQ至EBC、EBC至PH）的整编数据已封装为两份Excel文件，对应压缩包中则提供了相同数据的CSV格式版本。
