    • In situ turbidity data for urban and forested reference watersheds in Clarksburg, Maryland USA (2010-2012)

    Metadata Updated: July 6, 2024

    This dataset describes in stream turbidity for watersheds included in a paired watershed study including a forested reference watershed and three urban watersheds with centralized or decentralized stormwater management in Clarksburg, Maryland USA. Turbidity was monitoring from June 2010 to December 2010, March 2011 to December 2011 and June 2012 to October 2012 in For-MD and Cent-MD, and only the 2011-2012 time period in Dist-MD. Mean turbidity in NTU was recorded at 5-minute intervals during the 2010-2012 monitoring seasons with a Forest Technology Systems, Digital Turbidity Sensor DTS-12. Mean turbidity was computed from 100 instantaneous recordings during the time interval. Sensor accuracy is ±2% of reading (0-399 NTU) and ±4% of reading (400-1,600 NTU), with a turbidity range of 0 to 1,600 NTU.
