Lake Carmi and Missisquoi Bay Legacy Phosphorus Data

Water quality, meteorological, and sediment extraction data for Lake Carmi and Missisquoi Bay, Lake Champlain.
Files include:
Monitoring platform water quality profiles - hourly readings at 0.5 meter depth intervals including readings of temperature, dissolved oxygen, relative fluorescence of chlorophyll-a and phycocyanin, turbidity, pH.
HOBO sensor stationary data - 15 minute readings of water temperature and dissolved oxygen.
Meteorological Station data - 15 minute readings including air temperature, windspeed and direction, PAR, relative humidity.
Water nutrient data - including total phosphorus, total nitrogen, iron, manganese.
Sediment extraction data - triplicate sediment extractions (ascorbate and Aqua-Regia) for phosphorus, iron, manganese, calcium, aluminum.
