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

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)
• 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)
• 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
