The Silver Lake temperature array has been successfully rebuilt, relocated, and reinstalled. A BIG shout out to Rob Ritz and Karl Hanafin for designing and constructing the new, more robust array. Rob and Karl also installed the new system at its new location. Data from the new array can be seen at the following website: https://karl.hanafins.com/silver-lake-thermocline-data---station-1
The next several weeks will see the new system being more fully calibrated, tested, and assessed. You can follow along. The new temperature array is designed to accurately record depth- and time-dependent data from the lake at 15 minute time intervals throughout the year. These data are used to observe in-lake mixing events / ‘turn over’ in real time. In the warmer summer season, lake-wide mixing events are often precursors to algae blooms (nutrients from sediment in the lake sediment + delivery to the lake surface + sun light = algae growth).
