//////////////////////////////////////////////////// Metadata for RadonSalmonCreekData.csv //////////////////////////////////////////////////// This datafile contains results of 222Rn analysis of samples collected within the Salmon Creek Watershed in Sonoma County, Califonia. Please see Woelfle-Erskine et al. (2017) for site location details. The present dataset is provided in support of Larsen and Woelfle-Erskine (in review). The purpose of this dataset was to determine relative ages of water samples. Data were collected in 2016 in the Fay Creek and Tannery Creek watersheds, both second-order tributaries of Salmon Creek. Samples were collected in 2-L plastic vials. Concentrations were measured with a RAD7 radon meter at the New Mexico Institute of Technology by Jesus Gomez-Velez. The accompanying CSV file has one row of column headers. Columns are defined as described in the data dictionary below. //////////////////////////////////////////////////// Data Dictionary: 1. Sample Location. Wells and springs on private property have been anonymized, per terms of the landowners' permission to extract samples. 2. Sample date. dd/mm/yyyy 3. Sample time local. hh:mm 4. Radon in water after decay correction. pCi/L 5. Uncertainty after decay correction. +/-pCi/L //////////////////////////////////////////////////// Citations: Larsen, L. G. & Woelfle-Erskine, C.
