Description

The file limno-chem-data.txt contains limnological and chemical data for surface water and bottom water from 7 stations at Clear Lake over 22 potential sampling dates from May 1994 through May 1997. Data for each station include: temperature (°C), pH, specific conductivity (mS/cm), total dissolved solids (Km/L), dissolved oxygen (mg/L), turbidity (NTU), reduction/oxidation potential (mV), total organic carbon (mg/L), dissolved organic carbon (mg/L), humic acids (mg/L), total suspended solids (mg/L), sulfate (mg/L), total mercury - filtered water (ng/L), methyl mercury - unfiltered water (ng/L), methyl mercury - filtered water (ng/L). Minimum, maximum, and mean values for each parameter at each station/depth are provided at the bottom of each of the 14 data tables. Also included in the last column on each data table is a ROW SUM value (cumulative sum of values for each data row) to assis in QA/QC of downloaded data.
