ABSTRACT:

The CAMELS-Chem dataset is a comprehensive collection of stream water chemistry data, atmospheric deposition data, and catchment attribute data for 516 minimally impacted headwater catchments across the continental United States. The dataset spans a period of 39 years, from 1980 through 2018, and includes 18 common stream water chemistry constituents, such as Al, Ca, Cl, Dissolved Organic Carbon, Total Organic Carbon, HCO3, K, Mg, Na, Total Dissolved Nitrogen, NO3, Dissolved Oxygen, pH, Si, SO4, and water temperature. Additionally, the dataset provides annual wet deposition loads for several key components. The dataset is based on the existing CAMELS dataset, which provides catchment attribute data such as topography, climate, land cover, soil, and geology. In CAMELS-Chem, this catchment attribute data is paired with atmospheric deposition data from the National Atmospheric Deposition Program and water chemistry data and instantaneous discharge from the US Geological Survey. The dataset also includes paired instantaneous and discharge measurements for all chemistry samples.
The catchment attribute data files used in the CAMELS-Chem dataset were downloaded from the CAMELS website (https://ral.ucar.edu/solutions/products/camels
