Abstract:

The LAGOS-US LIMNO data package is one of the core data modules of LAGOS-US, an extensible research-ready platform designed to study the 479,950 lakes and reservoirs larger than or equal to 1 ha in the conterminous US (48 states plus the District of Columbia). The LIMNO module contains in situ observations of 47 specific variables for surface samples of lake physics, chemistry, and biology obtained from the Water Quality Portal, the National Lakes Assessment (2007, 2012, 2017), and NEON lakes. LIMNO provides 3,511,020 observations across the 47 parameters collected between 1975 and 2021 from 20,329 unique lakes; the number of observations per lake ranged from 1 to 20,605 with median = 32. The database design that supports the LAGOS-US research platform was created based on several important design features: lakes are the fundamental unit of consideration, all lakes in the spatial extent above the minimum size must be represented, and most information is connected to individual lakes. The design is modular, interoperable (the modules can be used with each other), and extensible (future database modules can be developed and used in the LAGOS-US research platform by others). Users are encouraged to use the other two core data modules that are part of the LAGOS-US platform: LOCUS (location, identifiers, and physical characteristics of lakes and their watersheds) and GEO (characteristics defining geospatial and temporal ecological setting quantified at multiple spatial divisions) that are each found in their own data packages.

Data Entities
Data Table Name:	chemistry_limno
Description:	The water chemistry observations in this file represent samples from a single day collected from the upper waters or epilimnion at a primary site representing each lake. Each row is identified by a unique sample_id that represents an individual chemical parameter (parameter_id) for a single sampling event (eventid_epi), lagoslakeid, cluster_id, and sample_date. In addition to the parameter_id and parameter_value, we also include the LAGOS-assigned censorcode and detection limit value where available.
Data Table Name:	sourcedata_limno
Description:	This file contains the source data corresponding to each observation in chemistry_limno linked via the unique sample_id. Included are the original units and values, source organization identifiers, legacy site identifiers, methods, sample qualifiers, and source sample site identifiers as described in the original data download. The table provides the LIMNO assigned conversion factors applied to harmonize values and detection limits.
Data Table Name:	cluster_information_limno
Description:	Unique site clusters were derived for each lake from sample site locations provided by the data sources. Individual sites were grouped into clusters of sites within 200 meters of each other. This data table provides the source_sample_siteid and location coordinates; cluster membership; mean and maximum inter-site distance of sites within the cluster; and cluster central coordinates.
Other Name:	LIMNO USER GUIDE for LAGOS-US_WorkingCopy.pdf
Description:	LIMNO GUIDE for LAGOS-US_v1.0
Other Name:	Supplementary files.zip
Description:	Supplementary files containing allsites_alldepths data, wqp conversion file, and R scripts used to create LAGOS-US LIMNO.
Other Name:	data_dictionary_limno.csv
Description:	Data dictionary - defines the columns within each data and metadata table (dictionary_type = table_dictionary) and provides information on data type, missing values, precision and units.
Other Name:	parameter_description_limno.csv
Description:	Parameter description - table provides additional information on each parameter, including units, upper and lower limits for inclusion, the set of WQP characteristic names queried to assemble values for the parameter. Parameters are grouped into themes which the user can use to select related parameters from the data table for analysis.
Other Name:	domain_dictionary_limno.csv

Description:

The following sections describe in detail the process we followed to create the LIMNO export. All steps were implemented with R scripts provided as supplemental data in EDI (Table XX). These steps refer largely to data downloaded from the WQP; steps specific to NLA/NEON data are described in each section. During this process, subsets of data that didn’t meet certain criteria were removed but retained as separate files (Table XX).
