Measurement Description
|
| Water Temperature |
Apprise Templine

|
The temperature of the lake from the surface to a depth of 20m is measured in 1m increments using a templine from Apprise Technologies. |
| Dissolved Oxygen Saturation |
D-opto

|
A D-opto probe from Zebra-Tech LTD is held about 0.4m below the lake’s surface and is used to continuously monitor dissolved oxygen saturation. |
| Dissolved Oxygen Saturation and Temperature |
YSI Sonde 600, 6600

|
YSI sondes will be held at depths of 0.4m, 2.0m, and 6.0m to measure both dissolved oxygen saturation and temperature at those depths. |
| Chlorophyll-a and Phycocyanin |
Cyclops-7 Submersible Fluourometers

|
Measures the levels of Chlorophyll-a and Phycocyanin pigments at a depth of 0.4m. The Chlorophyll-a fluorometer operates with an excitation wavelengtn of 460nm, emission wavelength of 620-715nm, and detection wavelength of 300-1100nm. The Phycocyanin fluorometer operates with an excitation wavelength of 595, emission wavelength of 670nm, and detection wavelength of 300-1100nm. |
| Wind Speed and Direction |
RM Young Model 85000 Ultrasonic Anemometer

|
Measures wind speeds from 0-70 m/s with an accuracy of +/-2% for winds up to 30 m/s and +/-3% for winds up to 70 m/s. It measures wind direction from 0 to 360° with an accuracy of +/-2°. |
| Air Temperature and Relative Humidity |
RM Young Model 41382 Probe

|
Measures relative humidity from 0-100% with an accuaracy of +/-2% at 20°C. It is stable to +/- 1% RH per year. It measures temperatures of +/-50°C at an accuracy of +/-0.3°C at 0°C |
