Description

These data are from a YSI EXO3 multiparameter sonde deployed at approximatly 0.4 m in Via Sacra Pond (37.223340 N, -78.473026 W) in approximately 1 m of water.

Sonde Specifics

The specific sensors and SNs deployed are on the metadata specific to each deployment but generally the sonde has:

• Temperature
• Conductivity
• ODO
• Total Algae
• Turbidity
• fDOM

Measurement Parameters, units, and Variable Names

• date.time = the combined date and time of the measurement (YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS)
• date = the sampling date reported by the YSI (M/D/YYYY)
