Temperature and Light logging from Aug 14 to 21, 2012

Launched the loggers in the same place as before but used tubes - see description

Picked up tubes and left green posts in on Tue 8/21

Profiles don't show the anticipated warm and calm nights. There was full mixing every day.

The compiled data is at UKL2012/agu21-2012/compiled-data.xls

Met data not available as of Aug 24. But looked at Weather Underground for Klamath Falls.

The water in the wocus is uniformly mixed, never stratifies at all. Just outside the wocus, the water stratifies. In the lake the stratification is slightly different. But no major differences.

There are drammatic cooling of the 1 cm logger in the wocus, but I need to check if that might be related to being stuck slightly out of water at night. The water level can vary by .08 ft over a 24 hr period (= 2.4 cm). We need to be sure that the tube isn't sticking out of the water.

Next time -- try putting the loggers at 1, 5, 15, and 30 cm - maybe at 40
