Physico-chemical properties and discharge of a peatland river, Drumtree, Scotland, May 2012 to December 2014
This data set covers high resolution (30-min frequency) water quality and dissolved carbon data from a peatland river in Southwest Scotland (5.8 km2), part of the Whitelee Wind Farm complex. The data set covers approx. 2.5 years including two full hydrological years and 261 individual flood events between 23/05/2012 and 16/12/2014. Carbon data was measured using a Scan Spectrolyser – a field deployable UV-Vis light spectrometer.

Provenance & quality
Data was initially collected as part of a NERC funded PhD project, and subsequently further analysed by Bass AM and co-authors for publication. Water quality sensors were calibrated against standard solutions for pH and conductivity. Dissolved organic carbon (DOC) data was calibrated against data analysed on a Thermolox(TM) TOC analyser.
