Cascade Project at North Temperate Lakes LTER – High-resolution Spatial Data for Whole Lake Experiments 2018 - 2019

Spatial measurements of water quality from Peter and Paul lakes in 2018 and 2019. In 2019, inorganic nitrogen and phosphorus were added to Peter Lake daily to cause an algal bloom while Paul Lake was an unmanipulated reference lake. In 2018, both lakes were sampled 1 time per week, while in 2019 lakes were sampled three times per week. Measurements were taken using the FLAMe sampling platform (Crawford et al. 2015, Environmental Science and Technology 49:442-450), which was driven in a grid pattern and recorded GPS coordinates and water measurements at 1Hz to create high resolution spatial maps.
