Dissolved Oxygen and Temperature Data from the Hyporheic Zone of the East River Watershed July 2017 to October 2018
Abstract
Dissolved oxygen (DO) is critical for aquatic ecosystems. Our focus is on the long-term DO dynamics in hyporheic zone of rivers, which are a function of both transport (hydrologic exchange between river and hyporheic zone) and uptake by biogeochemical reactions or respiration. The study site is the alpine East River watershed in Colorado, USA, meander A downstream from the pump house. Opti O2 probes were deployed in the water column and directly within the river-bed at 10, 20, and 35 cm depth (38°55'23.38"N, 106°57'4.21"W, 9046.88m) to monitor DO and temperature. A continuous data stream from July 24, 2017 to Oct 24, 2018 was autonomously telemetered to the cloud. This 14-month DO and temperature time series were obtained without any servicing for maintenance or data downloads; additionally the ability to remotely verify probe performance during field deployment was essential to confirm data validity during winter freeze-in and hydrological/weather events, such as spring melt and summer monsoons. We investigate the variations in dissolved oxygen dynamics of this snow-pack dominated watershed during a comparatively low flow water year (2018) and a relatively normal water year (2017), enabled by distinctive, in-situ, high frequency (∆t = 5min) sensors that provided a continuous time-series from themore »
