Also
available is a downloadable Excel
spreadsheet (it's about 160 Kbytes) that contains all of
the data and charts listed above.
NOTE:
Currently the RUSS unit is limited to an uppermost sampling
depth of about 0.7 meters. Typically, we will average values
for 1, 2, and 3 meters to calculate the mean "surface
water" value. The depth range was chosen based on examination
of the mixed layer depth from soon after ice-out through June
1998.
These
data should be considered "provisional" until otherwise
indicated. The data are undergoing several rounds of QA/QC
review and some of the data may be modified at a subsequent
date. We chose to leave the data hose on full blast whenever
possible to familiarize ourselves with the operation and maintenance
requirements of the RUSS units and to generate real data for
use in developing curricula and lesson plans. Data gaps were
associated with various RUSS system upgrades and occasional
gremlins.
Bear
in mind the sensor calibration dates when viewing these graphs.
