Breakthrough curves for conservative and reactive tracers measured seasonally at four locations in the agriculturally-impacted Wood Brook stream. Data was collected from July 2016 to March 2017 using in-situ fluorometers sampling every 10 seconds to determine hydrological transport and respiration metrics. The work was funded by the UK Natural Environment Research Council.
Use Cases
- Model advective transport and transient storage dynamics using seasonal breakthrough curves for fluorescein.
- Analyze aerobic respiration rates by comparing breakthrough curves of reactive tracers resazurin and resorufin.
- Compare conservative and reactive tracer behavior across three experimental reaches in a lowland agricultural stream.
- Investigate seasonal hydrological changes using breakthrough curves measured from summer 2016 to spring 2017.
Strengths
- High-temporal-resolution data collected via in-situ fluorometers sampling every 10 seconds.
- Seasonal coverage from July 2016 to March 2017 across four measurement locations.
- Includes both conservative (fluorescein) and reactive (resazurin, resorufin) tracer data for comparative analysis.
Limitations
- Geographic scope is limited to a single stream (Wood Brook, Staffordshire, UK).
- Temporal coverage is limited to a nine-month period, not a full annual cycle.
- Dataset size, row count, and specific column structure are unknown from the input.
