Summary
Note: This data release has been deprecated. Please see new data release here: https://doi.org/10.5066/P9A4FVZ4. The data presented here was collected adjacent to USGS stream gage 06730200 and includes both observed and modeled values. Dissolved oxygen, dissolved carbon dioxide, stream depth, water temperature, and light intensity were collected via passive water quality sensors. Modeled values include gross primary production, ecosystem respiration, net ecosystem production, reaeration, and light (when observed values were unavailable). Modeled values were obtained through streamMetabolizer, a USGS-sponsored R-package for estimating rates of stream metabolism. Estimates for carbon dioxide flux utilized both modeled (i.e. reaeration) [...]

Estimates for carbon dioxide flux utilized both modeled (i.e. reaeration) and observed (i.e. dissolved carbon dioxide) values. Discharge data used in this study are not published here, but are publicly available through the Nation Water Information System (https://waterdata.usgs.gov/nwis).

These data were collected for a metabolism study in Boulder Creek in Colorado, USA. High-frequency dissolved oxygen and carbon dioxide observations were used to gain expanded insights into the seasonal patterns of metabolism and carbon dioxide flux in Boulder Creek and the implications for watershed connectivity in a snowmelt-dominated stream.
