Data are provided for the following parameters:

  • Date - Date the sample was collected from the field and includes all precipitation that fell after the previous sample collection date.
  • Julian Day
  • Cond - Specific conductance (µS/cm)
  • Amt - Precipitation amount (in)
  • FpH - Field pH
  • H+ - Hydrogen ion concentration based on field pH (µeq/l)
  • Ca - Calcium concentration (µeq/l)
  • Mg - Magnesium concentration (µeq/l)
  • Na - Sodium concentration (µeq/l)
  • K - Potassium concentration (µeq/l)
  • NH4 - Ammonium concentration (µeq/l)
  • Cl - Chloride concentration (µeq/l)
  • NO3 - Nitrate concentration (µeq/l)
  • SO4 - Sulfate concentration (µeq/l)
  • NO2 - Nitrite concentration (µeq/l)
  • HPO4 - Inorganic biphosphate (µeq/l)
  • NPOC - Non-purgeable organic carbon (ppm C)

If the concentration of a constituent was below the analytical detection limit, "nd" is shown for that constituent. If the constituent was not analyzed, "na" is shown for that constituent.
