Title

Temporal variation in temperature and light availability in the Hampshire Avon, United Kingdom [Macronutrient Cycling]

Abstract

The dataset contains measurements of temperature (°C) and light availability (Lux) in rivers in the Hampshire Avon catchment (UK). Six rivers within sub-catchments of contrasting geology (clay, sand, chalk) were investigated. The stream sites monitored were chosen to reflect a gradient of base flow index. Data were obtained via direct, field-based measurements every 15 minutes from February 2013 to (max) December 2014 with sensors tethered to the bed of the river at each site. Full details about this dataset can be found at https://doi.org/10.5285/9b6a6233-85ad-44f4-ba83-4905b8c48713

All data were generated by the authors. The data comprise measurements of temperature (°C) and light (Lux) made by Onset HOBO Pendant Temperature/Light UA-002-64 data loggers (Onset Computer Corporation, 470 MacArthur Blvd., Bourne, MA 02532 USA) tethered to the bed of 6 streams, all tributaries of the Hampshire Avon. The loggers were calibrated by the manufacturer. Temperature: ±0.53°C from 0 to 50°C. Time: ± 1 minute per month at 25°C. Light: 200 - 1200 nm, 60% response 500 - 1100 nm, 100% response 900 nm. For full details, see HOBO Pendant Temperature/Light Data Logger (UA-002-xx) Manual: www.onsetcomp.com. Breaks in the continuous data occur due to removal of sensors from the river for data downloads or loss/malfunction of loggers.
