The five campaigns included a large (79 millimeter (mm)) fall storm, spring snowmelt, and spring, summer, and fall base flow periods. During the fall storm, the synoptic sampling was augmented with a time series of samples over the hydrograph at the W-9 weir. All samples were filtered and analyzed for mercury, methylmercury, major cations, total dissolved nitrogen, and dissolved organic carbon (DOC). Dissolved organic matter (DOM) was characterized by a full uv-visible absorbance scan and fluorescence excitation emission matrices, and other properties. Conventional DOM quality metrics were derived from these data and reported herein.", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "https://doi.org/10.5066/P9380HQG", "description": "Landing page for access to the data", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "application/http", "title": "Digital Data"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "description": "The metadata original format", "downloadURL": "https://data.usgs.gov/datacatalog/metadata/USGS.5fc84a95d34e4b9faad89cf7.xml", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "text/xml", "title": "Original Metadata"}], "identifier": "http://datainventory.doi.gov/id/dataset/USGS_5fc84a95d34e4b9faad89cf7", "keyword": ["DOM quality", "Danville", "PARAFAC", "Sleepers River", "Total mercury", "USGS:5fc84a95d34e4b9faad89cf7", "Vermont", "fluorescence", "headwater stream", "humic-like", "location", "methylmercury", "protein-like"], "modified": "2021-04-08T00:00:00Z", "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "U.S. Geological Survey"}, "spatial": "-72.17150688171388, 44.4985256368228, -72.15657234191896, 44.485851652386486", "theme": ["geospatial"], "title": "Mercury, methylmercury, cations, dissolved organic carbon, and dissolved organic matter optical properties in small forest streams during five synoptic sampling campaigns at Sleepers River, Vermont, 2017-2018"}
