Bottom dissolved oxygen measurements from Lake Erie's Central Basin, 2020

November 18, 2021

This data set, compiled by USGS Lake Erie Biological Station, provides near-bottom measurements of temperature and dissolved oxygen for the Central Basin of Lake Erie. Data were recorded by self-contained environmental data loggers (PME, Inc., MiniDOT data loggers). The data loggers were deployed during the stratified period (i.e., beginning of June 2020 through late October 2020) to better understand how hypoxia develops and influences fish habitat quality. The data loggers were deployed on acoustic telemetry receivers in a network designed to record tagged fish movements (Great Lakes Acoustic Telemetry Observation System, GLATOS). Additional years of data collection are planned, and data release will be updated as necessary.
