PIE LTER year 2012, 5 minute and 15 minute measurements of conductivity, water temperature in a small headwater stream draining a mainly wetland catchment (49% wetlands/swamp + 36% forest), Bear Br., draining Cedar Swamp, Reading, MA.

Summary

Short name: 

WAT-Swamp-CedarSwamp-Cond-2012

Abstract: 

Year 2012, continuous measurements, every 5 minutes during the first deployment and then 15 minutes for the remainder of the year, were made of conductivity, water temperature in Bear Brook in Reading, MA, a small headwater stream draining Cedar Swamp, a mainly wetland catchment (49% wetlands and swamp + 36% forest) in the Ipswich River watershed.

Methodology

Methods: 

Conductivity and water temperature were measured using a HOBO datalogger suspended inside a perforated PVC pipe in the center of the stream channel.

Specific conductance was calculated using a conductivity assistant in the HOBOware software.

NOTES AND COMMENTS:
Datalogger was deployed on Novermber 30, 2012 and collected data at an interval of 5 minutes. The sampling interval was changed to 15 minutes on December 20, 2012.

FLAGS:
1 -- Datalogger not deployed
2 -- Datalogger malfunction

Maintenance: 

Measurements completed for year
