Chesapeake Bay Nontidal Network 1985-2020: WRTDS input data (ver. 2.0, January 2023)
Nitrogen, phosphorus, and suspended-sediment loads, and changes in loads, in major rivers across the Chesapeake Bay watershed have been calculated using monitoring data from the Chesapeake Bay Nontidal Network (NTN) stations for the period 1985 through 2020. Nutrient and suspended-sediment loads and changes in loads were determined by applying a weighted regression approach called WRTDS (Weighted Regression on Time, Discharge, and Season). The load results represent the total mass of nitrogen, phosphorus, and suspended sediment that was exported from each of the NTN watersheds. The files containing all inputs required to run WRTDS for all applicable NTN monitoring stations are provided in the "Attached Files" section.
