Description
| This is the dataset associated with the publication “A new lake classification scheme for the Peace-Athabasca Delta (Canada) characterizes hydrological processes that cause lake-level variation” published in Journal of Hydrology: Regional Studies (2021). Included are three data files:
- hourly lake level measurements at 48 sites in 2018
- hourly lake level measurements at 53 sites in 2019
- geographical coordinates for these sites, all located within the Peace-Athabasca Delta in northeastern Alberta, Canada
Raw data collected using HOBO Water Level Data Loggers were converted from water pressure readings (unit: psi) to water depths (unit: meters) using the Barometric Compensation Assistant in the HOBOware Pro software program. The specified density of water was derived from the temperature channel (assuming freshwater) and a barometric datafile (recorded using a data logger deployed in the field that measured atmospheric temperature and pressure), which was used to convert water pressure readings to water depths. See associated publication for more detailed methods on the deployment of these instruments. |
