These data include 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 along the Clyde estuary taking measurements from land to sea down the estuary on the ebb tide at both the surface and bed so the impact of location, river flow, wastewater treatment outflows and stratifications can be understood.

Provenance & quality

The field data were collected between September 2021 and May 2022 on the Clyde estuary by power boat by making transects along the Clyde estuary across 8 surveys where data was collected both near the surface and near the bed. 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.
