Full year Lake Okeechobee continuous survey by Nav2 Sail and Solar ASV (2021)

This dataset was generated during an entire year of operations (2020-12-31 to 2021-01-01) of the Nav2 Sail and Solar ASV (Navocean, Inc.) Vela, to survey Lake Okeechobee as part of the HALO program.

Vela was equipped with the following sensors: C/T (Aanderaa), ADCP (Nortek), BB3 backscatter (Wetlabs), dissolved O2 (Aanderaa), and Fluorometric sensors (Turner Cyclops Integrator). The dataset includes variables from all sensors as well as navigation parameters.

The individual logger files have been combined under one register per TIMESTAMP, and a 1st level of quality control has been applied.

This dataset is used in the publication in preparation: Ruiz Xomchuk, V., Duncan, S. McFarland M and Beckler, J. [2023] Elucidating Lake Okeechobee Harmful Algal Bloom population tracking through long-duration monitoring with an Autonomous Surface Vehicle, to be submitted to Environmental Monitoring and Assessment.

Within the HALO program, the following public outreach bulletins were prepared during Vela's deployment time as data became available:
