Summary

This dataset provides details from stream metabolism models for 11 stream sites in Connecticut that were monitored during 2015 to 2018 by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). Metabolism was estimated at each site using the streamMetabolizer package in the R computing environment. When data were collected for multiple years at a site, stream metabolism was separately estimated for each year. For each site-year combination, three files are provided: (1) the input data file, which includes continuous dissolved oxygen, solar time, water temperature, light, and stream depth, (2) the output data file, containing the daily metabolism estimates, and (3) a site-specific html file that serves as a guide for running the streamMetabolizer package [...]

Purpose

Stream metabolism was determined from dissolved oxygen and other data collected from 2015 to 2018 as part of a study to help evaluate the effects of phosphorus loading in Connecticut streams. The stream metabolism information can aid in determining the appropriate phosphorus reductions required to meet Connecticut water-quality standards.
