Hydrology and biogeochemistry datasets from Sleepers River Research Watershed, Danville, Vermont, USA.

The Sleepers River Research Watershed (SRRW) in Danville, Vermont, USA, was established in 1957 by the U.S Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Research Service (ARS). The 111‐km2 area was selected as a representative mixed‐land‐use upland landscape in the northeastern USA, with the objective to study fundamental hydrological processes. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) currently operates SRRW and is the fourth federal agency to lead it. SRRW has hosted historic research on snowmelt modelling and streamflow generation processes, and USGS has augmented this hydrological foundation with biogeochemical cycling research. This data note describes five freely available data releases in stable repositories, extending to the late 2010s, from the indicated start date: aqueous chemistry and isotopes (1991); precipitation, water temperature, and streamflow (1991); groundwater levels (1991); ground frost depth (1983); and snow depth and water equivalent (1960). USGS research at SRRW is expected to continue, and we plan to update these releases every 1–3 years. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
