Title: Total microcystins, chlorophyll, and other water quality data collected in Lake Erie from 2013-06-18 to 2022-10-10 (NCEI Accession 0276941)
Abstract: Water samples were collected by charter boat captains and Stone Lab scientists in order to track the water quality of Lake Erie. Samples were analyzed for chlorophyll a (an indicator of algae biomass), microcystins (a group of toxins produced by cyanobacteria), total phosphorus and nitrogen (indicators of maximum biomass potential), dissolved nitrate, phosphate, and silicate (nutrients available for algae), and total suspended solids (mass of all particulates in the water). These data are available in .xlsx format.
