Readings are taken at sensor arrays at 32 meters and 38 meters above mean sea level. Basic quality control measures have been applied to the data. To continuously monitor meteorological variables representative of Lake Champlain for use by researchers, recreationalists, commercial boaters, Champlain Water District and the National Weather Service.Z0080_CR_QAQCVMC.80.62mySQLDuncan, J., and C.
