Description

These data are from a YSI EXO3 multiparameter sonde deployed at approximatly 0.4 m in Via Sacra Pond (37.223340 N, -78.473026 W) in approximately 1 m of water.

Sonde Specifics

The specific sensors and SNs deployed are on the metadata specific to each deployment but generally the sonde has:

Temperature

Conductivity

ODO

Total Algae

Turbidity

fDOM

Measurement Parameters, units, and Variable Names

date.time = the combined date and time of the measurement (YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS)

date = the sampling date reported by the YSI (M/D/YYYY)

time = the sampling time reported by the YSI (HH:MM:SS)

fract_sec = the sampling fractions of a second reported by the YSI

site_name = the site name on the YSI deployment (left blank)

chl_RFU = the chlorophyll concentration (RFU)

chl_conc = the chlorophyll concentration (ug/L)

cond = the conductivity (uS/cm)

nLF_cond = the nLF conductivity (uS/cm)

perc_ODO = the percent oxygen saturation

perc_local_ODO = the percent local oxygen saturation

ODO_conc = the dissolved oxygen concentration (mg/L)

sal = the salinity (psu)

sp_cond = the specific conductivity (uS/cm)

BGA_PC_RFU = the Blue-green algae Phycocyanin concentration (RFU)

BGA_PC_conc = the Blue-green algae Phycocyanin concentration (ug/L)

TDS = the total dissolved solids (mg/L)

temp = the temperature (dC)

turb_FNU = the turbidity (FNU)

TSS = total suspended solids

battery = the battery voltage

cable_pwr = the cable power
