Summary

This U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Data Release provides continuously-measured turbidity data collected from ten sites in Kansas and two sites in Virginia from October 2014 to September 2017. All data are reported as raw measured values and are not rounded to USGS significant figures. Water-quality monitors were used to measure turbidity at hourly or fifteen-minute intervals for field comparisons and ten-second intervals for laboratory comparisons. This dataset includes all continuously measured data collected from eleven field sites and one laboratory site as part of a study to evaluate the variability in selected turbidity sensors and standards.
