Abstract

This data package contains East and Taylor Watershed, Colorado stream discharge and temperature data for water years 2019 to 2024. This data was collected to understand hydrological processes occurring in the East River and Taylor River Watersheds, Colorado, which is part of the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory Watershed Function Scientific Focus Area. Data includes instantaneous observed discharge using salt dillution and acoustic doppler velocimeter techniques, raw pressure transducer downloaded data, sub-hourly temperature as well as corrected water level and associated stream discharge and mean daily values. Notes on water level corrections, rating curve development and metadata provided. A rating curve is the translation of depth to streamflow. The rating curve can be used as a quantitative measure of the “quality of the data.”Data within this dataset is formatted using ESS-DIVE’s Hydrological Monitoring Reporting Format. This data package contains (1) a zip file (Stream_Discharge_Data_WY19-WY24.zip) containing stream discharge and temperature data organized by location; (2) an InstallationMethods file (InstallationMethods.csv) describing metadata about the installation; (3) a file-level metadata (flmd.csv) file that lists each file contained in the dataset with associated metadata; (4) a data dictionary (dd.csv) file that contains terms/column_headers used throughout the files along with a definition, units, and data type;more »« less

Stable Water Isotope Data for the East River Watershed, Colorado (2014-2024)

Dataset Williams, Kenneth ; Beutler, Curtis ; Bill, Markus ; ...

The stable water isotope data for the East River Watershed, Colorado, consists of delta2H (hydrogen) and delta18O (oxygen) values from samples collected at multiple, long-term monitoring sites including streams, groundwater wells, springs, and a precipitation collector used to establish a local meteoric water line (LMWL) for the watershed. These locations represent important and/or unique end-member locations for which stable isotope values can be diagnostic of the connection between precipitation inputs as snow and rain and riverine export. Such locations include drainages underline entirely or largely by shale bedrock, land covered dominated by conifers, aspens, or meadows, and drainages impacted bymore »« less
Machine Learning Assisted Gap-Filled Discharge Data for the East River Community Watershed, Colorado, for Water Years 2014-2021

Dataset Newcomer, Michelle ; Carroll, Rosemary ; Williams, Kenneth

This dataset contains a collection of machine learning assisted gap-filled discharge data created for all discharge stations across the East River Watershed, Colorado. This data was generated by using raw discharge data collected by Rosemary Carroll, and conducting a random forest machine learning analysis to gap-fill discharge data across all years at the hourly time level. Discharge data with gaps creates problems for analysis of measured and modeled fluxes of carbon and nitrogen exported out of each sub-watershed. Gap-filled data is also required as an input to surface water models, which helps to address our main research question related tomore »« less
Anion Data for the East River Watershed, Colorado (2014-2024)

Dataset Williams, Kenneth ; Beutler, Curtis ; Brown, Wendy ; ...

The anion data for the East River Watershed, Colorado, consists of fluoride, chloride, sulfate, nitrate, and phosphate concentrations collected at multiple, long-term monitoring sites that include stream, groundwater, and spring sampling locations. These locations represent important and/or unique end-member locations for which solute concentrations can be diagnostic of the connection between terrestrial and aquatic systems. Such locations include drainages underlined entirely or largely by shale bedrock, land covered dominated by conifers, aspens, or meadows, and drainages impacted by historic mining activity and the presence of naturally mineralized rock.

Cation Data for the East River Watershed, Colorado (2014-2024)

Dataset Dong, Wenming ; Beutler, Curtis ; Brown, Wendy ; ...

This data package contains mean values for cation concentration for water samples taken from the East River Watershed in Colorado. Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) has been used to measure the concentrations of elements of interest simultaneously for the East River Watershed, Colorado groundwater and surface water samples to inform insights on the biogeochemistry processes within the watershed. The East River is part of the Watershed Function Scientific Focus Area (WFSFA) located in the Upper Colorado River Basin, United States.
