Summary
This release contains data from field and laboratory tests conducted by the USGS Groundwater Dating Laboratory between 2014 and 2017 during the development of a new dissolved and gas phase carbon dioxide sensor. The release also contains results of calibration, intercomparison, temperature, humidity, and stability experiments, as well as monitoring studies of CO2 in soil surface gas in the Amargosa Desert during the Toxic Substances Hydrology Amargosa Desert Research Site (ADRS) project, and measurements of dissolved CO2 (pCO2) in Upper Klamath Lake, in laboratory plant mesocosm studies at USGS headquarters in Reston, Virginia, as well as in creeks and streams in Northern Virginia.

The laboratory tests demonstrate the performance of the sensors as well as their general characteristics. The field tests are a compendium of studies testing the sensors in different environments, demonstrating their strengths and weaknesses, and showing their value as scientific tools. These data are generally useful for studying carbon dynamics in the environment over time as well as understanding how membrane based dissolved gas sensors behave.
