Data include results from water chemistry and water isotope analyses for surface water samples collected at the NGEE Arctic Teller Road site at mile marker 27 (TL_MM27) on the Seward Peninsula, Alaska, July through September of 2016 and May through September of 2017. The samples were collected using automated samplers (ISCO Model 6712; Teledyne, USA), with regular collection (every 24 hrs in 2016 and every 48 hrs in 2017). Surface water samples were collected from three locations along the main drainage: ISCO 1 from the tributary (64.729060°, -165.946210°), ISCO 3 which was located upstream (64.733640°, -165.955410°) and ISCO 2 which was located downstream (64.726410°, -165.946820°). Dataset includes a *.pdf user guide and one *.csv data file.The Next-Generation Ecosystem Experiments: Arctic (NGEE Arctic), was a to reduce uncertainty in Earth System Models by developing a predictive understanding of carbon-rich Arctic ecosystems and feedbacks to climate. NGEE Arctic was supported by the Department of Energy's Office of Biological and Environmental Research. The NGEE Arctic project had two field research sites: 1) located within the Arctic polygonal tundra coastal region on the Barrow Environmental Observatory (BEO) and the North Slope near Utqiagvik (Barrow), Alaska and 2) multiple areas on the discontinuous permafrost region of the Seward Peninsula north of Nome, Alaska. Through observations, experiments, and synthesis with existing datasets, NGEE Arctic provided an enhanced knowledge base for multi-scale modeling and contributed to improved process representation at global pan-Arctic scales within the Department of Energy's Earth system Model (the Energy Exascale Earth System Model, or E3SM), and specifically within the E3SM Land Model component (ELM).
