Libraries of Lake Spectra, Water Chemistry Data, and Ancillary Information

Northern Lakes field experiment (2003). Includes 40 lakes in northern Wisconsin and nearby parts of Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Above- and below-surface spectra measured with the ERSC Ocean Optics dual-spectroradiometer system. Field measurements of chlorophyll, dissolved organic carbon, and other variables.
Madison Lakes (2003). Data from 6 lakes in south-central Wisconsin. Above- and below-surface spectra measured with the ERSC Ocean Optics dual-spectroradiometer system. Field measurements of dissolved organic carbon.
Libraries of lake spectra from the 2001 and 2002 field seasons will be added soon.
