Greenhouse Gas and Water Chemistry Measurements for the Clyde River System, 2020-2021

January 2020 to December 2021 data covers greenhouse gas concentrations and physio-chemical water properties from 26 river locations and 2 estuary sites in the Clyde catchment. The dataset supports analysis of GHG sources and sinks in this Scottish riverine system.

Use Cases

• Analyze spatial patterns of greenhouse gas concentrations across 28 locations to identify emission hotspots.
• Model relationships between physio-chemical water properties and GHG levels to understand controlling mechanisms.
• Assess temporal trends in water chemistry and GHG data over the two-year monitoring period.

Strengths

• Two-year temporal coverage from January 2020 to December 2021 provides seasonal and inter-annual context.
• Spatial coverage includes 26 riverine locations and 2 estuary sites across the Clyde catchment.

Limitations

• Sample size and row count are unknown, limiting assessment of statistical power.
• Specific measured variables (column names) are not detailed, requiring metadata review for analytical planning.
