Description
General Metadata for Chalgrove Lake YSI Data
Files
Specific metadata for each deployment can be found as text files with the file format of:
BC_chalgrove_lake_YYYY-MM-DD_YYYY-MM-DD_metadata.txtWhere YYYY-MM-DD_YYYY-MM-DD is the date range of the deployment.

Description
These data are from a YSI EXO2 multiparameter sonde deployed at approximatly 0.7 m in Chalgrove Lake (37.242983 N, -78.464116 W) in approximately 4 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
- pH
- ODO
- Turbidity
- Total Algae
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)
- time = the sampling time reported by the YSI (HH:MM:SS)
- frac_sec = the sampling fractions of a second reported by the YSI
- site_name = the site name on the YSI deployment (left blank)
- Cond = the conductivity (uS/cm)
- Chl_RFU = the raw fluorescence of the chlorophyll sensor (RFU)
- nLF_Cond = the nLF conductivity (uS/cm)
- DO_perc = the percent oxygen saturation
- DO_percL = the percent local oxygen saturation
- DO_mgL = the dissolved oxygen concentration (mg/L)
- SAL = the salinity (psu)
- SPC = the specific conductivity (uS/cm)
- TAL_PC_RFU = the raw fluorescence of the phycocyanin (blue green algae) sensor (RFU)
- TDS = the total dissolved solids (mg/L)
- Turbidity = the turbidity of the water (FNU)
- TSS = the total suspended solids
- pH = the pH
- pH_mV = the millivolts of the pH sensor
- Temp = the temperature (dC)
- Batt_V = the battery voltage
- Cable_V = the cable power
