Chesapeake Bay Nontidal Network 1985-2023: Monthly loads
Description
Nitrogen, phosphorus, and suspended-sediment loads, and changes in loads, in major rivers across the Chesapeake Bay watershed were calculated using monitoring data from the Chesapeake Bay Nontidal Network (NTN) stations for the period 1985 through 2023. Nutrient and suspended-sediment loads and changes in loads were determined by applying a weighted regression approach called WRTDS (Weighted Regression on Time, Discharge, and Season). Load results represent the total mass of nitrogen, phosphorus, and suspended sediment that was exported from each of the NTN watersheds by month. The file containing monthly actual and flow-normalized loads for all applicable NTN monitoring stations is provided in the "Attached Files" section.
