Data provides information on weather conditions (air temperature, RH, wind speed and direction, and incoming solar radiation) and water quality metrics (DO, water temperature, pH, relative abundance of chlorophyll and phycocyanin, water level, specific conductivity) to examine relationships among biotic and abiotic variables. Data are used for research and teaching to examine the structure and function of a pond system susceptible to frequent, consistent, and intense cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) blooms.Shelburne Pond BuoyStockwellJasonlimnologylakessensor datagleoncyanobacteriaShelburne Pond Buoy Data - Current Year2016-05-25Weather and water quality data from Shelburne Pond, Vermont, collected using high-frequency sensors in the current yearMonitor weather and water quality to examine how limnological dynamics of the system in relation to weather forcing.Z0339_ShelburnePondBuoyVMC.339.444mySQLJason Stockwell. 2017.
