Physico-chemical water properties and greenhouse gas measurements across a tidal cycle, Clyde estuary, Scotland, 2020-2022
Greenhouse gas concentrations and physio-chemical water properties for the Clyde estuary in Scotland to support understanding of the GHG sources and sinks and their associated mechanisms in a highly stratified, temperate urban estuary. These measurements look at the changes in GHG from a single point in the middle of the estuary (Breahead pontoon) through a tidal cycle at both the surface and bed so the impact of tidal river flow and stratification can be understood.

Provenance & quality
The field data were collected between Aug 2020 and May 2022 on the Clyde estuary from the Breahead ponton across 7 surveys where data was measured through a tidal cycle and where data was collected both near the surface and near the bed on the Clyde estuary in Scotland. Samples were analysed within the lab at UKCEH Edinburgh as part of an IAPETUS 2 DTP NERC funded PHD.
Data were carefully quality controlled to check analytical methods data were correct including cross checking of data from different and methodologies and between surveys. Any suspect data have been removed.
