Temperature mooring data collected at Station AT55 in Lake Michigan from August 1, 2017 to April 20, 2018 (NCEI Accession 0280221)

This dataset contains physical data collected from 2017-08-01 to 2018-04-20. These data include water temperature. The instruments used to collect these data include Data Logger and Temperature Logger. These data were collected by David Cannon and Dr Cary Troy of Purdue University and Dr Harvey Bootsma and Dr Qian Liao of University of Wisconsin as part of the "Collaborative Research: Regulation of plankton and nutrient dynamics by hydrodynamics and profundal filter feeders (Filter Feeders Physics and Phosphorus)" project. The Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO) submitted these data to NCEI on 2019-05-20.

The following is the text of the dataset description provided by BCO-DMO:

Temperature mooring data collected at Station AT55 in Lake Michigan from August 1, 2017 to April 20, 2018 at a 55 meters depth site.

Dataset Description:
A fixed mooring was established to measure water column temperatures in Lake Michigan near Milwaukee, WI, from Aug 1 – Aug 17, 2017 at a 55 meters depth site and again during 2018 from April 5 – April 20, 2018. The mooring involved a large tripod to which a surface line was attached and along this line were temperature sensors at various depths. Depths may vary slightly due to unmeasured chain drift.

All temperature data collected during 2017 were smoothed using a 2s moving average before being interpolated onto a 2s sampling interval. All missing data is represented by NaN.

All temperature data collected during 2018 were smoothed using a 1s moving average before being interpolated onto a 1s sampling interval. Individual thermistor accuracies, ranges, and resolutions are included in the attached file

Instrument Manufacturers: Sea-bird Scientific (SBE56); RBR (RBR TDR- 2050, RBR TR-1060); Onset (HOBO)
