GW Scientific has established a preliminary long-term station (GCL01) at the Shady Glade Resort marina,
adjacent to the Shady Glade Cafe. The station is solar powered and uses a
Campbell Scientific Inc. CR1000 data logger to measure and store
data from a variety of sensors. The below air temperature measurements are made with a Campbell Scientific 107 temperature sensor
that is installed in a 6-plate solar radiation shield. The below lake temperature measurements are made with a Campbell Scientific CS451 pressure
transducer that also measures temperature and a GW Scientific temperature profile probe that measures lake bed temperatures at several depths using YSI thermistors.
The CS451 sensor is mounted 3 inches above the lake bed, and the lake bed temperature sensor is located 5 centimeters below the lake bed. The measurement location is by the "U"
water road post by the Shady Glade Marina.
