Light and GPP estimates for 173 U.S. rivers: 1. Site information and parameters

This dataset provides information on site identifiers, location information, and model parameters. The format is a tab-delimted file with 1 row per site. This dataset is part of a larger data release of inputs and outputs from a model to predict light at the stream surface and within the water column for 173 streams and rivers across the continental United States. The complete release contains model input data, modeled estimates of light at the stream surface and within the water column, and modeled estimates of gross primary productivity.
