Dataset Overview | National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI)

Physical, chemical, and biological water quality data collected from moored buoy WE04, Lake Erie in the Great Lakes region from 2014-08-01 to 2018-10-18 (NCEI Accession 0190729)

Preview graphic

Physical, chemical, and biological water quality data collected at moored buoy WE04 in western basin of Lake Erie collected between 2014 and 2018 to support the understanding of harmful algal blooms (HABs). In situ data were collected for the following parameters, wind speed mean, wind speed maximum, air temperature, barometric pressure, depth, water temperature, specific conductivity, pH, turbidity, dissolved oxygen, chlorophyll-a, phycocyanin, dissolved organic matter, nitrate, and phosphate. Table cells with "NAN" means no data available.
