Gulf of Maine Watershed Discharge and Water Chemistry Data

GM-WICS provides historical and near real-time discharge and water chemistry data for the Gulf of Maine watershed, combined with water balance and nutrient modeling results. The system is maintained by the Water Systems Analysis Group at the University of New Hampshire as a diagnostic framework for assessing water and nutrient status.

Use Cases

• Model water balance using discharge data and precipitation estimates across the watershed.
• Analyze trends in water chemistry parameters like nutrient concentrations for environmental impact assessment.
• Characterize the status of nutrients in the Gulf of Maine using modeled chemistry results.
• Correlate near real-time discharge data with seasonal climate variables for forecasting.
• Diagnose watershed health by integrating historical discharge records with contemporary chemistry measurements.

Strengths

• Integrates both historical records and near real-time data streams.
• Combines observational data with results from water balance and chemistry modeling.

Limitations

• Specific row counts, column details, and temporal coverage are not provided.
• Geographic scope is limited to the Gulf of Maine Watershed area.
