From January 2017 to December 2019, a shallow station (3 m bottom depth) and a deeper station (22 m bottom depth) were regularly sampled, every 21 d in 2017 and 2018, and every 30 d in 2019. A mooring was deployed at a station at 10m bottom depth in Lake Edward (-0.2459°N 29.8635°E) equipped with RBR Solo temperature sensors at 6 depths from surface to 1m above the sediment (0.2, 1.0, 2.0, 5.0, 7.5 and 9.0 m depth) from 21/03/2019 (13:00 local time (LT)) to 23/03/2019 (13:50 LT)<em>.</em></p> <p> </p> <p>Solar radiation, ultraviolet radiation, wind speed (cup anemometer), wind direction (wind vane), rain (mechanical rain collector), air temperature, barometric pressure data were acquired with a Davis Instruments weather station (Vantage Pro2 fitted with standard manufacturer sensors) in Mweya on top of a building of the Uganda Wildlife Authority, 4m above ground (-0.190384°N 29.899103°E) . Data were measured every 5 seconds, averaged and logged every 10 minutes.</p> <p>During the March 2019 cruise, continuous measurements (1 min interval) of partial pressure of CO<sub>2</sub> (pCO<sub>2</sub>) and of partial pressure of CH<sub>4</sub> (pCH<sub>4</sub>) were made with an equilibrator designed for turbid waters consisting of a tube filled with glass marbles (Frankignoulle et al. 2001) coupled to a Los Gatos Research off-axis integrated cavity output spectroscopy analyzer (Ultraportable Greenhouse Gas Analyzer with extended range for CH<sub>4</sub>). In parallel water temperature, specific conductivity, pH, dissolved oxygen saturation level (%O<sub>2</sub>), turbidity, chlorophyll-<em>a</em> (Chl-<em>a</em>), and fluorescent dissolved organic matter (FDOM) were measured with an YSI EXO-II multi-parameter probe, position with a Garmin geographical position system (Map 60S) portable probe, and depth with a Humminbird Helix 5 echo-sounder. Surface water was pumped to the equilibrator and the multi-parameter probe (on deck) with a 12V-powered water pump (LVM105) attached to the side of the boat at a fixed depth of about 0.5 m depth.</p> <p>Discrete sampling was done from the side of the boat with a 5.0 L Niskin bottle (General Oceanics). During the first cruise, vertical profiles of water temperature, specific conductivity, pH, %O<sub>2</sub> and Chl-<em>a</em> were measured with a Hydrolab DS5 multi-parameter probe, while during the other three cruises and also during the monitoring, turbidity and FDOM were measured additionally with a YSI EXO-II multi-parameter probe. Both multi-parameter probes were calibrated according to manufacturer’s specifications, in air for %O<sub>2</sub> and with standard solutions for other variables: commercial pH buffers (4.00, 7.00, 10.00), a 1000 µS cm<sup>-1</sup> standard for conductivity. pCO<sub>2</sub> was measured directly after water sampling with a Li-Cor Li-840 infra-red gas analyser (IRGA) based on the headspace technique with 4 polypropylene 60 ml syringes (Borges et al. 2015). The Li-Cor 840 IRGA was calibrated before and after each cruise with ultrapure N<sub>2</sub> and a suite of gas standards (Air Liquide Belgium) with CO<sub>2</sub> mixing ratios of 388, 813, 3788 and 8300 ppm. The overall precision of pCO<sub>2</sub> measurements was ±2.0%.</p> <p>Samples for CH<sub>4</sub> and N<sub>2</sub>O were collected from the Niskin bottle with a silicone tube in 60 ml borosilicate serum bottles (Wheaton), poisoned with 200 µL of a saturated solution of HgCl<sub>2</sub> and sealed with a butyl stopper and crimped with an aluminium cap. Measurements were made with the headspace technique (Weiss 1981) and a gas chromatograph (GC) (SRI 8610C) with a flame ionisation detector for CH<sub>4</sub> and electron capture detector for N<sub>2</sub>O calibrated with CO<sub>2</sub>:CH<sub>4</sub>:N<sub>2</sub>O:N<sub>2</sub> gas mixtures (Air Liquide Belgium) with mixing ratios of 1, 10 and 30 ppm for CH<sub>4</sub>, 404, 1018, 3961 ppm for CO<sub>2</sub>, and 0.2, 2.0 and 6.0 ppm for N<sub>2</sub>O. The precision of measurement based on duplicate samples was ±3.9% for CH<sub>4</sub> and ±3.2% for N<sub>2</sub>O.</p> <p>Samples for the stable isotope composition of CH<sub>4</sub> (δ<sup>13</sup>C-CH<sub>4</sub>) were collected and preserved as described above for the CH<sub>4</sub> concentration. The δ<sup>13</sup>C-CH<sub>4</sub> was determined with a custom developed interface, whereby a 20 ml He headspace was first created, and CH<sub>4</sub> was flushed out through a double-hole needle, non-CH<sub>4</sub> volatile organic compounds were trapped in liquid N<sub>2</sub>, CO<sub>2</sub> was removed with a soda lime trap, H<sub>2</sub>O was removed with a magnesium perchlorate trap, and the CH<sub>4</sub> was quantitatively oxidized to CO<sub>2</sub> in an online combustion column similar to that of an elemental analyzer. The resulting CO<sub>2</sub> was subsequently pre-concentrated by immersion of a stainless steel loop in liquid N<sub>2</sub>, passed through a micropacked GC column (Restek HayeSep Q, 2m length, 0.75mm internal diameter), and finally measured on a Thermo DeltaV Advantage isotope ratio mass spectrometer (IRMS). Calibration was performed with CO<sub>2</sub> generated from certified reference standards (IAEA-CO-1 or NBS-19, and LSVEC) and injected in the line after the CO<sub>2</sub> trap. Reproducibility of measurement based on duplicate injections of samples was typically better than ±0.5 ‰.</p> <p>Water was filtered on Whatman glass fibre filters (GF/F grade, 0.7 µm porosity) for particulate organic carbon (POC) and Chl-<em>a</em> (47 mm diameter). Filters for POC were stored dry and filters for Chl-<em>a</em> were stored frozen at -20°C. Filters for POC analysis were decarbonated with HCl fumes for 4h and dried before encapsulation into silver cups; POC concentration was analysed on an EA-IRMS (Thermo FlashHT with DeltaV Advantage), with a reproducibility better than ±5%. Data were calibrated with certified (IAEA-600: caffeine) and in-house standards (leucine and muscle tissue of Pacific tuna) that were previously calibrated versus certified standards. The Chl-<em>a</em> samples were analysed by HPLC according to Descy et al. (2005), with a reproducibility of ±0.5% and a detection limit of 0.01 µg L<sup>-1</sup>.</p> <p>The water filtered through GF/F Whatman glass fibre filters was collected and further filtered through polyethersulfone syringe encapsulated filters (0.2 µm porosity) for nitrate (NO<sub>3</sub><sup>-</sup>), nitrite (NO<sub>2</sub><sup>-</sup>) and ammonium (NH<sub>4</sub><sup>+</sup>) and were stored frozen (-20°C) in 50 mL polypropylene vials. NO<sub>3</sub><sup>-</sup> and NO<sub>2</sub><sup>-</sup> were determined with the sulfanilamide colorimetric with the vanadium reduction method (APHA, 1998), and NH<sub>4</sub><sup>+</sup> with the dichloroisocyanurate-salicylate-nitroprussiate colorimetric method (SCA, 1981). Detection limits were 0.3, 0.01, and 0.15 µmol L<sup>-1</sup> for NH<sub>4</sub><sup>+</sup>, NO<sub>2</sub><sup>-</sup> and NO<sub>3</sub><sup>-</sup>, respectively. Precisions were ±0.02 µmol L<sup>-1</sup>, ±0.02 µmol L<sup>-1</sup>, and ±0.1 µmol L<sup>-1</sup> for NH<sub>4</sub><sup>+</sup>, NO<sub>2</sub><sup>-</sup> and NO<sub>3</sub><sup>-</sup>, respectively.</p> <p> </p> <p>References</p> <p> </p> <p>APHA, 1998.
