ArcGIS Desktop: Release 10.5 Redlands, CA: Environmental Systems Research Institute Proprietary software, must be purchased Instruments were calibrated in the lab using deionized (DI) water to 0 ppb and 10 ppb standards, followed by testing with 1 ppb and 30 ppb standards. No efforts were made to calibrate or evaluate the performance of the turbidity or temperature sensors in the Turner C3 submersible fluorometers. All values fell within expected ranges, data were checked for transcription errors, omissions and duplicates. Data set is considered complete for the information presented, as described in the abstract. Users are advised to read the rest of the metadata record carefully for additional details. A formal accuracy assessment of the horizontal positional information in the data set has not been conducted. A formal accuracy assessment of the vertical positional information in the data set has either not been conducted, or is not applicable. Fluorometers were calibrated in the laboratory prior to the experiment using DI water and 0 ppb and 10 ppb standards, followed by testing with 1 ppb and 30 ppb standards. Following CERC SOP “Methods for Laboratory Calibration of Turner C3 Fluorometer For Riverine Dye-Trace Studies (internal document not publicly available) 20170614 Fluorometers were deployed one to two days prior to dye injection at four measurement stations over a 69-km study reach. The distance from the injection location was measured along the approximate thalweg, digitized on 2013 NAIP imagery. Fluorometers were placed approximately four to eight meters from the shore at depths 0.25 to 0.5 meters below the water surface, in areas accessible by wading. 20170628 Dye injection occurred on June 29, 2017 at 11:51 MDT. Sixty-one liters of 20-percent solution RWT, diluted by approximately half, were injected using a pump system from tubing positioned approximately 0.3 m below the water surface. Dye injection occurred along a transect oriented approximately perpendicular to flow and spanned the entirety of the channel from bank to bank at RM 88.6. The injection was completed within one minute of initiation. 20170629 Concentrations of RWT dye, turbidity, and temperature were measured every minute at four sampling stations, located 20.3–68.9 km downstream from the injection location. 20170630 Fluorometers were retrieved from deployment locations after the dye plume had passed and fluorescence returned to background levels. Data were downloaded to a field laptop through an RS-232 serial connection. 20170630 Data were filtered to remove outliers in measured RWT concentration. All values fall within expected ranges. 20170717 Thalweg distance was determined by merging Dawson and Richland counties, Montanna from NAIP ortho imagery (https://gdg.sc.egov.usda.gov/), digitizing the thawleg onto the images, and measuring the respective river miles along the thalweg. Processing was done utilizing ArcGIS Desktop (ESRI 2011: Release 10.5. Redlands, CA: Environmental Systems Research Institute). 2017 Field Data were collected in June 2017 as part of a dye-trace experiment in the Yellowstone River from approximately Glendive, Montana to Sidney, Montana. Fluorometers were deployed at four measurement stations over a 69-km study reach. Approximately 61 L of Rhodamine WT (RWT) dye was injected on 29 June 2017 at 11:51 MDT. The injection occured along a transect oriented approximately perpendicular to the flow at river mile (RM) 88.6. Injection was performed with a pump system from tubing position approximately 0.30 m below the water surface and was complete within one minute of initiation. RWT dye was diluted by half to facilitate mixing. Fluorometers were placed approximately 4 to 8 m from shore at depths 0.25 to 0.5 m below the water surface, in areas accessible by wading.
