Depth profile at specific depths (DP1.20254.001)

This data product contains the quality-controlled, native sampling resolution data from NEON's Depth profile at specific depths data collection. Depth profile data are collected along with any other sampling protocol in the water column (e.g., phytoplankton, zooplankton, or surface water chemistry). Depth profile data include water temperature, conductivity, and dissolved oxygen data collected every 0.5 m through the water column using a handheld probe. Depth profile data are only collected at the deepest location of the lake near the buoy, or near the river buoy. These data not only provide metadata to accompany the sampling modules, but also inform sampling depths based the thermocline, if present, for water chemistry and associated analytes, surface water microbes, and phytoplankton sampling. Depth profiles are collected year-round, including under ice at northern sites, a minimum of 12 times per year. For additional details, see the user guide, protocols, and science design listed in the Documentation section in this data product's details webpage.

Latency:
The expected time from data and/or sample collection in the field to data publication is as follows, for each of the data tables (in days) in the downloaded data package. See the Data Product User Guide for more information.
