Loch Leven Water Quality and Zooplankton Monitoring Data for 2019

2019 data from a long-term monitoring program at Loch Leven, a lowland lake in Scotland, United Kingdom. The dataset contains weather conditions, water quality, water chemistry, and crustacean zooplankton counts sampled roughly every two weeks. It was collected and processed by the UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology as part of the UK-SCAPE programme.

Use Cases

• Modeling seasonal changes in water chemistry based on weather conditions and sampling dates.
• Analyzing population dynamics of crustacean zooplankton in relation to water quality parameters.
• Contributing to long-term ecological research on a lake monitored since 1968.

Strengths

• Part of a long-term monitoring program that began in 1968 and is still ongoing.
• Data collected at a high temporal resolution of roughly every two weeks throughout 2019.
• Laboratory analysis and processing performed by the UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for specific modeling tasks.
