Summary

This U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) data release contains meteorological, water temperature, light (photosynthetically active radiation and illumination), and multichannel fluorescence sensor data from the Finger Lakes Region of New York, during the fall of 2018 and the summer and fall of 2019 and 2020. It also includes all sensor data and associated discrete sample data, at the near surface (top), mid-depth (middle) and near bottom (bottom) depths. Data were collected from three Advanced Monitoring Pilot study platforms in open water at Seneca Lake (USGS station number 425027076564401), Owasco Lake (USGS station number 425327076313601), and Skaneateles Lake (USGS station number 425606076251601) in 2018 and 2019, and in Seneca Lake [...]

Purpose

These data were collected as part of an Advanced Monitoring Pilot study, the USGS deployed three monitoring-station platforms in open water at Seneca Lake, Owasco Lake, and Skaneateles Lake in 2018 and 2019, and in Seneca Lake and Owasco Lake in 2020. The platforms were designed to support the evaluation of a large suite of high-frequency sensors, to determine their ability to make physiochemical and biological measurements, explore correlations with discrete sample data, and identify important predictors for estimating phytoplankton biomass and cyanobacterial abundance. This data release was produced in compliance with the federal open-data requirements to make scientific products associated with USGS research efforts and publications available to the public.
