The data developed from the Macrodispersion Experiment (MADE-1) conducted at Columbus Air Force Base in northeastern Mississippi are presented. The study was designed to obtain a comprehensive data base of field-scale transport of a nonreactive solute in a heterogeneous aquifer. These data were intended to provide the basis for development and validation of the advection-dispersion component of geohydrochemical models. Data developed from the study are presented in digital form, and include tracer concentration measurements associated with a large-scale natural-gradient tracer experiment conducted over a period of 20 months, hydraulic head data recorded at the test site before and during the natural-gradient experiment, and aquifer hydraulic conductivity estimates obtained from over 2400 borehole flowmeter measurements. Brief descriptions of the test site and methods of data acquisition are provided. 8 refs., 9 figs., 5 tabs.
