Introduction:
Much effort was directed toward measuring temperature within Newton Lake,
Coffeen Lake, and Lake of Egypt in order to reflect the importance of thermal loading to
this study.
- The YSI meters were calibrated approximately every 4 weeks using a
standard thermometer.
- Temperature loggers were progranuned to measure temperature every 2 minutes,
and the mean of these measurements was recorded every I or 2 hours to determine the
hourly temperature.
- Comparison of the scrutinized readings to other data, such as temperature profile data or
other logger data, indicated which logger was malf...
