Oxygen-18 isotope ratios, chemistry, and tracers in storm water from WS10 hillslope experiment in the HJ Andrews Experimental Forest, 2001-2003

Abstract: 

Oxygen-18 ratios, expressed as Delta-18O or D18O (parts per hundred), measured in WS10 discharge and WS10 precipitation. The time series spans from January 2001 to February 2003, period during which precipitation and streamflow were sampled mostly manually and weekly. The time series also includes some periods of higher frequency automatic sampling in streamflow and precipitation in winter 2001 and winter 2002. The precipitation Delta-18O time series corresponds to the Delta-18O measured at PRIMET station located about 1 km from WS10 outlet at a similar altitude, except from 01-Sep-2002 to 04-Feb-2003, when the Delta-18O of precipitation sampled sequentially on an experimental hillslope of WS10, was used (the collector was located on the south aspect, 91 m upstream from the outlet).
