Everglades River Carbon and Greenhouse Gas Measurements

Water chemistry measurements from the Shark and Harney tidal rivers in the Florida Everglades. The dataset contains dissolved carbon, greenhouse gases, and hydrological parameters collected during NASA Carbon Monitoring System BlueFlux campaigns. Data includes samples from multiple sites and automated sampling over tidal cycles from October 2022 and March 2023.

Use Cases

• Analyzing dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) and dissolved organic carbon (DOC) concentrations across tidal cycles.
• Correlating greenhouse gas levels with hydrological parameters like water temperature, pH, and dissolved oxygen.
• Studying seasonal differences in carbon flux between wet (October 2022) and dry (March 2023) seasons.
• Mapping spatial variation in water chemistry along the Shark and Harney river transects.

Strengths

• Data collected as part of a structured NASA Carbon Monitoring System (CMS) field campaign.
• Includes both discrete site samples and high-temporal-resolution autosampler data over tidal cycles.
• Covers two distinct seasons (wet and dry) for comparative analysis.

Limitations

• Specific column names, row counts, and file sizes are not provided by any source.
• Conflicting 'last updated' dates: one source reports 2026-03-13, another reports 2023-03 14.
