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.
