Long-term mean annual total nitrogen and total phosphorus loads estimated using Fluxmaster 5-parameter models and detrended to 2012, Midwest Region of the United States, 1999-2014
March 4, 2021
This USGS data release contains long-term mean annual total nitrogen and total phosphorus load estimates, and the model coefficients used to obtain the load estimates, for streams in the Midwest Region of the United States. The loads were estimated using the Fluxmaster program (Schwarz and others, 2006, https://pubs.usgs.gov/tm/2006/tm6b3) with a 5-parameter model and detrending to 2012 following the methods described in Saad and others, 2011 (https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1752-1688.2011.00575.x). A subset of these load estimates are described in Robertson and Saad, 2021 (https://doi.org/10.1111/1752-1688.12905) and were used to evaluate differences in load estimates in the Mississippi/Atchafalaya River Basin based on this method and the methods described in Saad and others, 2019 (https://dx.doi.org/10.3133/sir20195069). The flow and water-quality input files necessary to reproduce the load estimates included in this data release can be found in Saad and others, 2019 (https://doi.org/10.5066/F7DN436B).

Nitrogen and phosphorus sources and delivery from the Mississippi/Atchafalaya River Basin: An update using 2012 SPARROW models
Nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) inputs throughout the Mississippi/Atchafalaya River Basin (MARB) have been linked to the Gulf of Mexico hypoxia and water‐quality problems throughout the MARB. To describe N and P loading throughout the MARB, SPAtially Referenced Regression On Watershed attributes (SPARROW) models were previously developed based on nutrient inputs and management similar to...
