General Metadata for Via Sacra Pond YSI Data Files Specific metadata for each deployment can be found as text files with the file format of: via_sacra_pond_YYYY-MM-DD_metadata.txt Where YYYY-MM-DD is the date that the deployment ended. File Created 2020-01-14 by KF File Modified Description These data are from a YSI EXO3 multiparameter sonde deployed at approximatly 0.4 m in Via Sacra Pond (37.223340 N, -78.473026 W) in approximately 1 m of water. Sonde Specifics The specific sensors and SNs deployed are on the metadata specific to each deployment but generally the sonde has: Temperature Conductivity ODO Total Algae Turbidity fDOM Measurement Parameters, units, and Variable Names date.time = the combined date and time of the measurement (YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS) date = the sampling date reported by the YSI (M/D/YYYY) time = the sampling time reported by the YSI (HH:MM:SS) fract_sec = the sampling fractions of a second reported by the YSI site_name = the site name on the YSI deployment (left blank) chl_RFU = the chlorophyll concentration (RFU) chl_conc = the chlorophyll concentration (ug/L) cond = the conductivity (uS/cm) nLF_cond = the nLF conductivity (uS/cm) perc_ODO = the percent oxygen saturation perc_local_ODO = the percent local oxygen saturation ODO_conc = the dissolved oxygen concentration (mg/L) sal = the salinity (psu) sp_cond = the specific conductivity (uS/cm) BGA_PC_RFU = the Blue-green algae Phycocyanin concentration (RFU) BGA_PC_conc = the Blue-green algae Phycocyanin concentration (ug/L) TDS = the total dissolved solids (mg/L) temp = the temperature (dC) turb_FNU = the turbidity (FNU) TSS = total suspended solids battery = the battery voltage cable_pwr = the cable power
