Windermere North Basin Hypolimnion Temperature and Oxygen Measurements, 2005-2009

Fortnightly measurements of hypolimnion temperature and dissolved oxygen concentration from the North Basin of Windermere, UK. The UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology collected the data from a depth of 60-62 meters between January 2005 and the end of 2009.

Use Cases

• Analyze seasonal and interannual trends in hypolimnion temperature (TEMP) from 2005 to 2009.
• Model the relationship between hypolimnion dissolved oxygen concentration (DO) and temperature (TEMP) in a deep lake layer.
• Assess long-term oxygen depletion using DO measurements collected at a consistent 60-62 meter depth.
• Correlate fortnightly sampling intervals of TEMP and DO with external climatic or limnological drivers.

Strengths

• Data collected by the authoritative UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology (UKCEH).
• Covers a five-year time range from January 2005 to December 2009.
• Measurements taken at a consistent, deep sampling depth of 60 to 62 meters.
• Part of a long-term monitoring program supported by the UK-SCAPE National Capability.

Limitations

• Dataset scope is limited to two primary variables (temperature and oxygen) from a single basin.
• The fortnightly sampling frequency may miss short-term, high-resolution dynamics.
• Geographic coverage is restricted to one lake in the UK Lake District.
