YSI Data from Chalgrove Lake; 2019-03-28 to 2019-04-04

General Metadata for Chalgrove Lake YSI Data

Files

Specific metadata for each deployment can be found as text files at

https://github.com/KennyPeanuts/watershed_metabolism/tree/master/metadata

with the file format of:

chalgrove_lake_DDMonthYYYY_metadata.txt

Where DDMonthYYY is the date that the deployment ended.

Description

These data are from a YSI EXO2 multiparameter sonde deployed at approximately 0.7 m in Chalgrove Lake (37.242983 N, -78.464116 W) in approximately 4 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

pH

ODO

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)

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)

TDS = the total dissolved solids (mg/L)

pH = the pH

pH mV = the millivolts of the pH sensor

temp = the temperature (dC)

battery = the battery voltage

cable_pwr = the cable power
