Monthly nitrate by site (2023) — nitrate

The measurements of Nitrate (NO3-N) in surface water at 15 minute intervals, in units of micromoles per liter are labelled by site and month for three NEON streams. Values are means from the NEON WAQ product; months are ordered Jan–Dec.

Usage

nitrate_tidy

Format

A tibble with columns:

site: Factor; NEON site code: ARIK, CARI, LEWI
month: Ordered factor; Jan, Feb, …, Dec
surfWaterNitrateMean: Numeric; nitrate concentration (µmol/L)
