Stream metabolism estimated from dissolved oxygen data in Connecticut streams, 2015-18
type: Dataset
description: This dataset provides details from stream metabolism models for 11 stream sites in Connecticut that were monitored during 2015-2018 by the U.S. Geological Survey. Metabolism was estimated at each site using the streamMetabolizer package in the R computing environment. When data were collected for multiple years at a site, stream metabolism was separately estimated for each year. For each site and for each year, three files are provided; (1) the input data file, which includes continuous dissolved oxygen, solar time, water temperature, light, and stream depth, (2) the output data file, containing the daily metabolism estimates, and (3) a site-specific html file that serves as a guide for running the streamMetabolizer package for each site. File names include an abbreviated name for the site (The site 'short_name') to distinguish the files associated with each field site. Final metabolism models were run using a fixed value for K600, which is the mean reaeration rate coefficient scaled to a Schmidt number of 600; this fixed value was determined for each site based on initial model calibration runs. In addition to the stream metabolism files, a comma-delimited file containing basic site characteristics is included for reference. This site file includes the USGS site identifier, the site 'short name', the complete USGS site name, and the latitude and longitude of the sampling reach.
