Water temperature collected at multiple depths from a mooring in western Lake Erie, Great Lakes region from 2017-05-25 to 2017-09-25 (NCEI Accession 0202019)

browse graphicPreview graphic
Vertical water temperature data were collected at multiple depths on a single mooring in the western basin of Lake Erie from May 2017 through September 2017. Vertical temperatures were collected hourly at 13 depths over the period of record; maximum depth of this mooring location was 13 m. Two brands of thermistors were used including R. Brancker and Seabird 39, both have a temperature accuracy of ±0.002 °C.

Purpose Temperature measurements collected at high resolution in both time and vertical space are critical to 1) assess inter-annual variability of the thermal structure of the Great Lakes; 2) test three-dimensional model parameterization; 3) understand vertical mixing processes; and 4) to aid in interpreting biological and other environmental data.
