Description:

Abstract:

Thermokarst lake water temperature and salinity data were collected in 2011 in the vicinity of Arey Lagoon and Barter Island, Alaska. Pond temperatures and salinity (conductivity) were measured along two transects traversing across a wet sedge area. A hand-held YSI 556 MPS (plus or minus 0.5 percent accuracy) with a cable-attached instrument probe was placed in 10-15 cm of water within 1 m of each of the pond edges and allowed to equilibrate, and readings were recorded manually. In all, 35 ponds were sampled over a distance of approximately 1.5 km.

Purpose:

Data were obtained to provide inputs and validation data for a numerical model, and additionally to provide baseline environmental data previously not available.

Supplemental_Information:

Additional information about the field activity from which these data were derived is available online at: https://cmgds.marine.usgs.gov/fan_info.php?fan=ID411AR Any use of trade, product, or firm names is for descriptive purposes only and does not imply endorsement by the U.S. Government.

Data_Quality_Information:

Attribute_Accuracy:

Attribute_Accuracy_Report:

No formal accuracy assessment was performed. Standard operating procedures were used to collect all data and measurements are within the expected range. Instruments used to measure salinity, and temperature. Accuracies of pond temperatures and salinity (conductivity) are approximately ±0.5 percent of measurements, per manufacturer (YSI) specifications.

Logical_Consistency_Report:

No formal logical accuracy tests were conducted. Data has been checked for duplications and omissions. Missing data have been filled with NaN values. Where data were not collected a value of n/a value is used.

Completeness_Report:

Dataset is considered complete for the information presented, as described in the abstract. Users are advised to read the rest of the metadata record carefully for additional details.

Positional_Accuracy:

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:

A formal accuracy assessment of the horizontal positional information in the data set has not been conducted. Temperature and salinity sample locations were obtained with hand-held GPS units and are estimated to be accurate to within 4 meters.
