This research was supported with funding from the National Science Foundation's Chemical Oceanography Program (OCE‐1536996 and OCE‐ 1537013) and Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Program (AGS‐1560339, Penn State REU in Climate Science, supporting S. Cintrón Del Valle). Additional support was provided by NASA through Grants NNX14AM37G and NNX14AF93G.

The data are
(1) alkalinity and salinity in the tidal tributaries of the Chesapeake Bay,
(2) alkalinity and streamflow in the Chesapeake Bay watershed,
(3) bivalve biomass data in the Potomac River Estuary, and
(4) submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV) area in the Potomac River Estuary.

The data are in the form of nine netCDF files:

bivalve_data_fixed.nc: bivalve biomass at fixed stations 36 and 40 in the Potomac River Estuary
bivalve_data_random.nc: bivalve biomass at the random stations in Boxes 1 and 2 of the Potomac River Estuary
nontidal_data_reduced.nc: alkalinity and streamflow data at non-tidal stations, reduced dataset
nontidal_data_whole.nc: alkalinity and streamflow data at non-tidal stations, whole processed dataset
nontidal_station_list.nc: geolocation of non-tidal stations
sav_data.nc: areal extent of SAV coverage in Box 1 and 2
tidal_data_reduced.nc: alkalinity and salinity data at tidal stations, reduced dataset
tidal_data_whole.nc: alkalinity and salinity data at tidal stations, whole procesed dataset
tidal_station_list.nc: geolocation of tidal stations

Please see netCDF attributes for each file for parameter names, descriptions, and units

The data were not collected by the authors but rather derived from the Chesapeake Bay Program's (CBP's) Water Quality Database, United States Geological Survey (USGS) monitoring data, and Virginia Institute of Marine Science (VIMS) long-term aerial imagery monitoring dataset for the Chesapeake Bay (see related datasets).
