This data package contains the watershed and stream chemistry variables used in Edwards et al. (2021). These data have been broken up into 5 different tables based on their application in Edwards et al. (2021). Table A contains size and location information for the 2,455 watersheds in the southeast Alaska drainage basin (SEAKDB), along with the variables watershed percent glacier cover and proportion of the watershed in 0-5 degree slopes. Stream dissolved organic carbon (DOC) concentration measurements taken around Juneau, Alaska and from the Taku and Stikine Rivers are included in Table B. Table C includes mean monthly streamflow and gage basin attributes for 62 USGS gauges in the SEAKDB. The fourth table (D) includes stream discharge and DOC concentration measurements from 14 SEAKDB glacier watersheds. Table E contains measured stream discharge and DOC concentration for the Taku and Stikine Rivers. Also included is an ESRI file geodatabase containing the SEAKDB watershed boundaries used for the analysis.
The purpose of this publication is to provide additional supporting data used for the analysis in Edwards et al. (2021) that is not already contained within the Edwards et al. (2021) publication.
These data were published on 10/08/2020. On 12/21/2020 the metadata were updated to include the DOI for the associated article. Additional minor metadata updates were made on 01/15/2021.
