Locations of three data loggers in Lake Beseck, Middlefield

On Thursday, January 22, 2021, CAES IAPP placed three HOBO data loggers in Lake Beseck, Middlefield. They were pulled on March 5, 2021 as the water level began to rise. These data loggers tracked air temperature, sediment temperature, and sediment moisture during the winter drawdown of the lake. Below are graphs of the data. HOBO 3 had technical problems and did not record any data. The temperature is listed in degrees Celsius, zero is freezing.

*Note: When sediment temperature is below freezing, the accuracy of sediment moisture declines.
