Dissolved silicon concentration and yield estimates from streams and rivers in North America and Antarctica,1964-2021

Metadata Updated: July 6, 2024

These data include dissolved silicon concentration and yield from 60 rivers across North America, the Caribbean, and Antarctica from 1964-2021 and are associated with the publication “Long-term change in concentration and yield of riverine dissolved silicon from the poles to the tropics”. Data were compiled from multiple public sources including the Long-term Ecological Research Network, Great Arctic Rivers Observatory, Upper Mississippi River Restoration program, and the U.S. Geological Survey. Concentration and yield estimates were generated by the Weighted Regressions on Time, Discharge and Season model (WRTDS; Hirsch et al. 2010). The dataset includes six files: discrete dissolved silicon data and daily discharge data used as inputs to WRTDS; annual estimates of discharge, concentration, and yield for all rivers; monthly estimates of discharge, concentration, and yield for all rivers; long-term trends in concentration and yield; and a file containing coordinates and drainage area information for each site.
