Abstract

This resource includes turbidity data measured at five USGS gaging stations in Dead Run, Baltimore County, Maryland. Data were collected with a YSI EXO2 sonde outfitted with a turbidity sensor from 2013- 2016. The collection interval was initially 30 minutes then switched to 5 minutes beginning in 2015. Suspended sediment was collected using ISCO samplers for the purpose of establishing correlations between turbidity and suspended sediment concentration, thus yielding a continuous record of suspended sediment concentration. Instantaneous sediment mass flux was calculated from the product of USGS instantaneous discharge data and suspended sediment concentration. Aggregation of data to monthly and annual mass loads and yields from 2013 to 2016 is presented in Kemper et al 2019. This resource is intended to provide data cited in Kemper et al 2019 to replace the https://doi.org/10.4211/his-5653 citation.
