Water chemistry of LTER-Europe research site Lake Paione Superiore LTER_EU_IT_089 (1984-2013)

Description

This dataset provides information about water chemical parameters for Lake Paione Superiore LTER_EU_IT_089: pH, Total alkalinity, conductivity, total nitrogen, major cations (calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium), major anions (sulphate, nitrate, chloride) and silica for the period 1984-2013.

Lake Paione Superiore (LPS) is a high altitude Alpine lake, located at 2269 m a.s.l. in the Bognanco Valley, Province of Verbania, Piedmont Region, Italy. It has a surface area of 0.68 ha and a maximum depth of 11.5 m. The Lake, together with Lake Paione Inferiore (LPI), is included in the monitoring sites of the UN-ECE Program ICP WATERS (International Cooperative Programme on Assessment and Monitoring of Acidification of Rivers and Lakes) for which the CNR Water Research Institute is the National Focal Centre for Italy.

This dataset includes the following files: Metadata LTER_EU_IT_089.xls and per each parameter one xls file with data records.

Detailed description of the site LPS is available at https://deims.org/7e5837a9-ee27-4e27-822a-f50e5217c313

Dataset for water chemistry of LPS for the  period 2014-2020 is available at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.10519126

Notes

The data collection was partly supported by the Italian Ministry for the Environment through the ICP Waters Programme. To whom is interested in data of Lake Paione Inferiore LTER_EU_IT_088, we have published data of chemical parameters under DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.7642499
