    • Vertical Profiles of Water Quality and Light in Owasco, Seneca, and Skaneateles Lakes, Finger Lakes Region, New York, 2019-2020

    Metadata Updated: October 29, 2025

    Field data for vertical profiles of light and water quality parameters were collected biweekly between May and November in 2019 and June and October in 2020 in association with continuous monitoring platforms in Owasco, Seneca, and Skaneateles Lakes, Finger Lakes Region, New York. Water quality profiles were collected using Yellow Spring Instruments (YSI) EXO2 sondes and light profiles were collected using a LI-COR Photosynthetically Active Radiation (PAR) sensor in 2019 and Onset HOBO Pendant Temperature and Light data loggers in 2020. This data release includes all measured environmental parameters included in the analysis. This data release was produced in compliance with the open data requirements as a way to make scientific products associated with USGS research efforts and publications available to the public. There are four data files included in this data release: one file containing light profile data from 2019, one file containing light profile data from 2020, one file containing EXO profile data from 2019, and one file containing EXO profile data from 2020.
