Summary

The data set includes temperature data from the base of the water column along the sediment interface of Ellerbe Creek, Durham, North Carolina, USA, in support of a study regarding groundwater/surface water exchange. The data were collected from 07/18/2017 to 07/26/2017 using a fiber-optic distributed temperature sensing system that has 1.01 m spatial resolution along the linear fiber-optic cable. During data analysis, the original 15 min measurments were averaged (arithmetic mean) for the entire period to potentially indicate colder groundwater inflows.

Purpose

The temperature data described here are being used to evaluate groundwater seepage along this instrumented section of Ellerbe Creek, Durham, North Carolina, USA. The temperature data, which are reported by the instrument as linear fiber distance, were georeferenced along the river bed using an external GPS and relating known points in space to the distance along the fiber-optic cable.
