#  REPORT ARCHIVAL DATA SET:  chloride.sw.load.output.txt
#
#	This file contains load output for chloride from the program loadest, using data in files
#       archive files chloride.sw.qw.txt and chloride.sw.q.txt.  The file contains information on 
#       chloride yield. Data used in USGS SIR 2009-5086, Chloride in groundwater and surface water

#  REPORT ARCHIVAL DATA SET:  chloride.sw.anc.txt
#            This data set contains water quality data and modified data used in the subject 
#            report used plot maximum measured chloride concentrations, and base-flow concentrations 
#            of chloride.  The data set includes chloride yield data (as previously described in 
#            dataset 'chloride.sw.load.output.txt').  This data set includes ancillary 
#            data used to develop two regression models in the report, one to describe variations 
#            in maximum measured chloride concentration (water years 1993-2004), and the second 
#            one to describe the variability chloride yields (water years 1993-2003).  Chloride 
#            yields represent the average yield of the output for each surface-water quality site 
#            from file 'chloride.sw.load.output.txt' Data used in USGS SIR 2009-5086, Chloride in 
#            groundwater and surface water in areas underlain by the glacial aquifer system, 
#            northern United States

#  REPORT ARCHIVAL DATA SET: cldepkgha
#   Mean chloride deposition 1994-2002. Gridded data from the 
#   National Acid Deposition Network were averaged. Units are in kilograms 
#   per hectare. This layer was used to create cl_ro_clip
#   Purpose: This layer was developed for Report SIR 2009-5086 to help 
#   identify chloride contributions from atmospheric deposition to 
#   concentrations in groudnwater and surface water. 

#--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#  REPORT ARCHIVAL DATA SET: cl_ro_clip
#     This data set was used to get some estimation of the background
#     average chloride concentrations in streams 1994-2002 in the U.S. based on
#     regional runoff data (hu8time) and chloride wet deposition 
#     data (cldepkgha) . The data is clipped to the galcial aquifer system
#     boundary in the US. These data sets were used as part of a study of 
#     chloride in groundwater and surface water in areas underlain by the 
#     glacial aquifer system. This data was used in figure 4 of the subject
#     report U.S. Geological Survey Scientific Investigations Report 2009-5086,
#     41 p. http://pubs.usgs.gov/sir/2009/5086/
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#  REPORT ARCHIVAL DATA SET: hu8time
#     This data set was used to help with calculating chloride in 
#     surface water and groundwater 1994-1002. The original data were obtained
#     from Dave Wolock and covers the time period 1900-2002.  The average 
#     runoff 1994-2002 was caclulated specifically for this report 
#     U.S. Geological Survey Scientific Investigations Report 2009-5086 
#     ( http://pubs.usgs.gov/sir/2009/5086/ ) and was used to create the 
#     cl_ro_clip raster data set.
#
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#  REPORT ARCHIVAL DATA SET: cl_tons_94_03
#         Spatial data showing mean chloride deposition 1994-2003. Gridded 
#    data from the 
#    National Acid Deposition Network were averaged. Units are in tons/square 
#    mile. This layer was developed for Report SIR 2009-5086 to help 
#    identify chloride contributions from atmospheric deposition to 
#    concentrations in groudnwater and surface water and was used in the 
#    report as figure 3.
