2 Lake Water Quality Profiles
Lake water quality profiles were collected at 1-2 month intervals at five sites at 1 meter depth intervals. Hydrolab MS5 sondes were descended from an anchored boat centered over the deepest point of each lake.
Raw water quality field data is stored in a Google Sheet that can be viewed at https://tinyurl.com/kwf-vogel-wqx-data.
Data visualizations are provided for each site visit here.
