This site presents temperature data collected using continuous monitoring equipment deployed at Lake Howell, North Carolina. The data have been collected and synthesized by students and faculty in the Civil and Environmental Engineering Department at UNC Charlotte.
Two types of data are available:
A table giving sample dates and observed temperates at each one of the five sites in the lake
Time history graphs of the monitored temperatures at each site
The data tables are presented in a .pdf format, while the graphs are in a .jpg format. There are separate documents for the 2008 and 2009 data. If you have difficulty opening the files, please send us an e-mail using one of the links above.
Sampling Site Information
Five separate strings of temperature loggers have been installed at Lake Howell, as follows:
- Intake
- Midlake
- Uplake
- MS2
- SB5 & SB6
Five temperature loggers have been deployed at each site. Each logger has been given a unique logger number and is assigned to a particular depth at a particular station (download logger assignment information).
The loggers are suspended in the water column using an anchor and two buoys. One buoy is at the surface, while a second one is at approximately 5-feet depth. The loggers are spaced vertically through the water column at roughly uniform intervals. The water depths vary from site to site, with the uplake site being the shallowest and the intake site being the deepest. The following diagrams show the logger deployments at each site:
