This data set contains long-term limnology data from Castle Lake (located 5440 ft above sea level in Northern California). The data contained can be broadly grouped into two different types: chemical and physical data. This data set contains dissolved oxygen saturation, dissolved oxygen concentration, chlorophyll-a concentration, CDOM, phycocyanin concentration, conductivity, specific conductivity, pH, salinity, water temperature, pressure, turbidity, sea pressure, density anomaly, and speed of sound at various depths.
Sampling Frequency: Continuous measurements were made and recorded down to milliseconds. Sampling dates vary from year to year, starting as early as February and as late as November. This data collection is part of an ongoing project funded by the US National Science Foundation, private donors, US AID, and the University of Nevada's Global Water Center.
