General Metadata for Via Sacra Pond YSI Data

Files

Specific metadata for each deployment can be found as text files with the file format of:

via_sacra_pond_YYYY-MM-DD_metadata.txt

Where YYYY-MM-DD is the date that the deployment ended.

Description

These data are from a YSI EXO3 multiparameter sonde deployed at approximatly 0.4 m in Via Sacra Pond (37.223340 N, -78.473026 W) in approximately 1 m of water.

Sonde Specifics

The specific sensors and SNs deployed are on the metadata specific to each deployment but generally the sonde has:

  • Temperature
  • Conductivity
  • ODO
  • Total Algae
  • Turbidity
  • fDOM

Measurement Parameters, units, and Variable Names

  • date.time = the combined date and time of the measurement (YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS)
  • date = the sampling date reported by the YSI (M/D/YYYY)
  • time = the sampling time reported by the YSI (HH:MM:SS)
  • fract_sec = the sampling fractions of a second reported by the YSI
  • site_name = the site name on the YSI deployment (left blank)
  • chl_RFU = the chlorophyll concentration (RFU)
  • chl_conc = the chlorophyll concentration (ug/L)
  • cond = the conductivity (uS/cm)
  • nLF_cond = the nLF conductivity (uS/cm)
  • perc_ODO = the percent oxygen saturation
  • perc_local_ODO = the percent local oxygen saturation
  • ODO_conc = the dissolved oxygen concentration (mg/L)
  • sal = the salinity (psu)
  • sp_cond = the specific conductivity (uS/cm)
  • BGA_PC_RFU = the Blue-green algae Phycocyanin concentration (RFU)
  • BGA_PC_conc = the Blue-green algae Phycocyanin concentration (ug/L)
  • TDS = the total dissolved solids (mg/L)
  • temp = the temperature (dC)
  • turb_FNU = the turbidity (FNU)
  • TSS = total suspended solids
  • battery = the battery voltage
  • cable_pwr = the cable power
