Manitou_2021_SW_GW_chemistry

Dataset contains chemistry data from 8 paired groundwater (GW) and surface water (SW) sites along Hotel Gulch in the Manitou Experimental forest. Sample ID describes the site location (GW or SW (n)) and the date the sample was collected. Sample collection time is listed in the second column.

Field parameters include specific conductivity (µS/cm), pH, and temperature (˚C). Cations include Al, Ba, Ca, Fe, K, Li, Mg, Mn, Na, Ni, Si, and Sr, all reported in mg/L. Cations data were analyzed with an ICP-AES. Anion data include F, Cl, NO3, SO4, and HCO3. Anion data were analyzed on an IC and HCO3 was estimated from alkalinity data. Alkalinity is reported as mg/L as CaCO3. 

High charge balance error is hypothesized to be due to underestimating sulfate and/or error associated with alkalinity measurements. 

Data flags include:
NaN = data was not collected 
BDL = analyte is below detection limit
DRY = data was not collected because the stream was dry.

Manitou_Warix_2021_timeseries.csv

Dataset for Hotel Gulch discharge, stream specific conductivity, groundwater level, and groundwater specific conductivity at eight paired groundwater and stilling wells. Electrical conductivity was measured with Onset U-24-001 HOBOs and was converted to specific conductivity. Water level was measured with Onset U-20-001 HOBOs in both the stream and groundwater wells. We measured discharge using the salt dilution method and created rating curves to turn stream water level to discharge, only discharge is reported here. 

NaN values indicate that data is not available because the sensor was not yet launched, the sensor was actively being downloaded, or because of logger error. Discharge values were also converted to NaNs where stage values exceeded manual stage/discharge observations to avoid overestimating discharge during high flows. 

Discharge = liters/second
Groundwater elevation = meters
Specific conductivity = microsiemen/centimeter

Temperature Profiles (TS(n))

Temperature data are saved in individual files for each of the 8 sites. File names are TS(n).csv where n = the site ID. Column headers are the depth under the streamed in meters and all temperature data is in Celsius.

Temperature was collected with DS1925L-F5# Thermochron iButtons at 0 cm, 10 cm, and 20 cm below the stream bed. At site 7, the 20 cm iButton failed and so we used temperature data from an Onset U-24-001 HOBO recording at the same interval in the adjacent groundwater well at a depth of 1.43 meters.
