LéXPLORE Letters No. 50

This newsletter was generated on the 30-07-2024.

The figures below are showing data for the period 09-07-2024 to 23-07-2024.

Until today, Thetis sampled 4542 depth profiles on Lake Geneva. In this Newsletter we show 42 profiles, so just 0.92% of the recorded data. The complete data set is available at Datalakes.

Data highlights of this issue

Thetis is undergoing major maintenance. This leaves us with little to no data for this issue.

What is displayed

Data from the Thetis profiler:

  • Water Temperature in °Celsius

  • Water Temperature Anomaly on daily resolution with respect to to the available daily climatology from Thetis so far in Kelvin

  • Dissolved Oxygen mg/L

  • Oxygen Saturation in %

  • Chlorophyll A in μg/L

  • Chlorophyll A Anomaly on daily resolution with respect to to the available daily climatology from Thetis so far in μg/L

  • Backscattering of light 700 nm in 1.e-2 m-1, representing zooplankton or larger particles in the water

Data from the automatic weather station:

  • Air Temperature in °Celsius

  • Wind Speed in m/s

  • Precipitation in mm

Data from the wave buoy:

  • Wave height in decimeter
