High-resolution spatial water-quality and discrete phytoplankton data, Owasco Lake, Seneca Lake, and Skaneateles Lake, Finger Lakes Region, New York, 2018-2019
From August 2018 to October 2019, the U.S. Geological Survey collected high-resolution spatial water quality from a total of five shoreline synoptic surveys conducted around the perimeters of Owasco Lake, Seneca Lake, and Skaneateles Lake within the Finger Lakes Region. Water-quality data were collected just below water surface utilizing YSI EXO2 multiparameter sondes and portable nitrate sensors paired with real-time GPS data collection as part of an Advanced HABs Monitoring Program in the Finger Lakes Region. In October 2019, water-quality data collection was paired with discrete phytoplankton grab samples on Owasco Lake and Seneca Lake. Phytoplankton grab samples were collected just below water surface with a peristaltic pump at twelve unique locations on each of the two lakes.
