In-stream and laboratory fDOM data from wildfire affected streams of the western United States, 2021-22

Metadata Updated: October 5, 2024

After wildfires occurred in the western United States during 2020, in-stream water quality monitors and automatic samplers were deployed in four burned watersheds and one unburned watershed. In-stream water temperature, turbidity, and fluorescent dissolved organic matter (fDOM) were measured at high frequency, and the fDOM data were corrected for temperature and turbidity effects. Automatic samplers were triggered during storm events, which captured turbid conditions in the wildfire affected streams. Laboratory experiments with storm event samples informed site-specific turbidity correction coefficients for fDOM data. An iterative solver approach also was developed to verify turbidity correction coefficients. This data release contains laboratory experiment data, as well as in-stream water temperature, turbidity, uncorrected fDOM, temperature-corrected fDOM, and temperature- and turbidity-corrected fDOM data. An example of the iterative solver code is also provided.
