EXO2 continuous profiling in porous organic sediments at unnamed north lake near Bemidji, Minnesota, 2019

Published by U.S. Geological Survey | Department of the Interior | Metadata Last Checked: January 27, 2026 | Last Modified: 2020-09-21T00:00:00Z
These data were collected in coordination with the U.S. Geological Survey Hydrogeophysics Branch for the National Crude Oil Spill Fate and Natural Attenuation Research Site. Data were collected using an EXO2 suspended 5.5 feet below a kayak. Sensor was dragged along the bottom of the lake except in instances where water depth was greater than 5.5 ft. The continuous profiling was conducted while paddling a kayak using Hypack 2017a to navigate survey lines set on a georeferenced background map to the best of ability. An EXO 2.0 handheld controller was used for coordinate information. Data collected includes, water temperature, specific conductance, pH, dissolved oxygen, and turbidity. These data are provided in two formats: a CSV file named EXO2_Sediment_WQ.csv, and in the Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI) shapefile format consisting of a group of files that have been compressed into a zip archive that is named EXO2_Sediment_WQ_shapefile.zip.
