NEON surface water chemistry in wadeable streams is sampled 26 times a year, and is analyzed for a suite of general chemistry, anions, cations, and dissolved, particulate, and total nutrients. Stream Water Chemistry samples were collected in Arthur’s Brook from August 2013 through April 2014. : The design is consistent with the surface water chemistry sampling protocol & procedure (NEON.DOC.002905vA). Grab samples of surface water are collected up to 26 times per year in streams. 12 samples are collected at regular intervals during the sampling season, while the remaining 14 are collected on an irregular basis to capture major flow events. The field protocol used by NEON for collecting surface water chemistry samples follows the general requirements set forth by the 2011 USGS National Water-Quality Assessment (NAWQA) Program and the Arctic LTER standard operating procedures (SOP). Sample handling and preparation portions of this protocol follow the general requirements set forth by the USGS National Water-Quality Assessment (NAWQA) Program (USGS 2006).
