Water Quality Vertical Profile Data in West Thompson Lake, Connecticut, 2022 and 2024

This data release consists of vertical water-quality profile data collected at three locations in West Thompson Lake Connecticut from June to October 2022 and from May to October 2024. The U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection, collected these data to assess physical property stratification in the West Thompson Lake. Vertical water quality measurements were obtained using multi-parameter water-quality sondes and include water temperature, specific conductance, dissolved oxygen, pH, turbidity, and chlorophyll a. Additionally, discrete water-quality samples for nitrogen and phosphorus were collected at select depths. The discrete water quality data are available from the U.S. Geological Survey's Water Data for The Nation database at https://doi.org/10.5066/F7P55KJN.

本次发布的数据集包含2022年6月至10月、2024年5月至10月期间，在美国康涅狄格州西汤普森湖（West Thompson Lake）三个采样点位采集的垂直水质剖面数据。本次数据采集由美国地质调查局（U.S. Geological Survey）联合康涅狄格州能源与环境保护部（Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection）完成，旨在评估西汤普森湖的物理属性分层特征。本次垂直水质测量采用多参数水质探头（multi-parameter water-quality sondes）开展，监测指标涵盖水温、比电导率、溶解氧、pH值、浊度及叶绿素a（chlorophyll a）。此外，研究团队还在选定深度采集了氮、磷相关的离散水质样品。上述离散水质数据可通过美国地质调查局的全国水数据（Water Data for The Nation）数据库获取，具体链接为：https://doi.org/10.5066/F7P55KJN。
