Lake Tahoe Optical and Physical Measurements from 2001

Optical measurements in Lake Tahoe during 2001. The dataset contains physical and chemical oceanographic measurements from a specific year. It is managed by the OB_DAAC organization and is available on multiple data platforms.

Use Cases

• Analyzing seasonal changes in lake optics using time-series measurements.
• Correlating water temperature with salinity or density data.
• Studying spatial patterns of ocean chemistry in a freshwater lake environment.
• Modeling light penetration and optical properties in clear alpine lakes.

Strengths

• Data is available from multiple authoritative platforms (NASA Earthdata and Data.gov), indicating curation.
• Provides a focused temporal snapshot of lake conditions for the year 2001.
• Includes several specific earth science measurement domains: optics, temperature, chemistry, and salinity.

Limitations

• Key structural details like row count and specific column names are unavailable from all sources.
• Sources conflict on license and last updated metadata, with some listing 'other-license-specified' and a 2026 date, while others list null.
