High frequency limnological sensor data from three lakes in the Pocono Mountains region, Pennsylvania USA, 2016-2024
This dataset publication provides access to eight years of high-frequency sensor data from three lakes: Giles, Lacawac, and Waynewood. These lakes are located in the Pocono Mountains region of Pennsylvania, USA and have been the site of long-term monitoring and research. Lake Giles is a relatively clear-water low dissolved organic matter oligotrophic lake in a largely protected watershed. Lake Lacawac has higher dissolved organic matter concentrations and is considered a dystrophic brown-water system; it is also in a highly-protected watershed. Lake Waynewood is a relatively productive eutrophic lake with a larger watershed that is mixed agricultural, forested, and residential use. High-frequency sensors were deployed on sensor lines at the deepest point in each lake. Measurements included temperature and dissolved oxygen through the water column, fluorescent dissolved organic matter at the surface and bottom, and chlorophyll fluorescence at the surface of each lake. These data are collected at a frequency of 10 to 30 minutes and are available in the data packages GilesHighFrequencyData.csv, LacawacHighFrequencyData.csv, and WaynewoodHighFrequencyData.csv. Data from weather stations located adjacent to each lake can be found in the data package PoconosWeatherStationData.csv. Additional long-term limnological data (four decades) for Lakes Giles, Lacawac, and Waynewood are available in the data package edi.186.8.
Three decades of limnological data from lakes in the Pocono Mountains region, Pennsylvania USA, 1988-2023
Three decades of limnological data have been collected from Lakes Lacawac, Giles, and Waynewood, located in the Pocono Mountains region of Pennsylvania, USA as a part of this ongoing data set. Giles is a clear-water, low dissolved organic matter oligotrophic lake in a largely protected watershed, Lacawac has higher dissolved organic matter concentrations and is a dystrophic brown-water system in a highly protected watershed within the Lacawac Sanctuary and Biological Field Station, and Waynewood is a more productive, eutrophic lake, with a larger watershed that is mixed agricultural, forested, and residential use. One unique aspect of these data is that they comprise one of the largest and most complete data sets with measurements of underwater UV transparency available in the world. The data include a suite of 48 variables including biological (zooplankton), physical, optical, and chemical characteristics of the lakes, with a focus on the optical characteristics. Data were collected on many of these variables at least once annually during the summer, often with much more frequent samples during the ice-free season, and for several years in the early 1990s through the winter months. The following four files contain this data set, with the main data contained in PoconosLakeData.csv and PoconosZoopData.csv. SiteInformation.csv and Methods.csv support the main data files, with descriptions of the sampling sites and methods by which samples were processed, respectively. Also included are summary reports that provide an overview and characterize the three core PCLP (Pocono Comparative Lakes Program) lakes from 1989-1993. The user is referred in particular to the 1995 summary report on all three lakes as a useful introduction to the three lakes. These files can be accessed through links provided under Journal Citations. These reports provide an overview of the lakes and detailed methodology.

Decades of water column temperature, lake level and meteorological data of Lake Lacawac, a pristine glacial lake at Lacawac Biological Field Station in the Pocono mountains, Pennsylvania USA (1992-2019)
Lake Lacawac weather and the lake water column were monitored to observe seasonal and interannual temperature and lake level patterns in response to solar heating, wind-driven water column mixing, precipitation, evaporation, watershed runoff and seepage, and outflow (L. Lacawac has an outflow stream but no inflow stream, and is surrounded on one side by peat bogs). Several studies have shown the lake to have a slow exchange by seepage (slightly more seeping in than out except during dry months). Over the years the raft data have been used to calibrate heat flux, mixing, and evaporation models for the lake, to study zooplankton and phytoplankton distribution and dissolved organic matter flux (photobleaching in the water column, influx from the watershed, and exchange with bottom sediments) and associated UV transparency. The data have also been used to accompany experimental manipulations of lake organisms (algae, zooplankton, fish) in relation to exposure to UV radiation. More recently these lake data have been useful in developing lake indices of climate change.
