Title: AFSC/ABL: Auke Bay Climatology 1959-2013
Short Name: AFSC/ABL: Auke Bay Climatology 1959-2013
Status: Completed
Publication Date: Unknown
Abstract:

Data set includes available climatological and related physical environmental records for Auke Bay, Auke Creek and Auke Lake beginning in 1959. Daily high and low air temperatures, precipitation, snow fall, snow on the ground, cloud cover, sea surface temperature, surface salinity, Secchi disc depth and water color are taken at the Auke Bay Laboratory. Daily stream temperatures are taken at the Auke Creek Weir. Three meter depth Auke Lake Temperatures are recorded and the Auke Creek Hatchery in take pipe in the lake.

Purpose:

The physical characteristics of the environment strongly influence the biological productivity of the terrestrial, freshwater and marine ecosystems. The knowledge of the physical characteristics and their variation over time are critical to understanding and prediction of the natural variation in ecosystem productivity. The parameters included in this data set are basic parameters that are easily monitored and have broad application to many research studies.

Data Quality

Completeness Report:

Users should be aware the subsets in the data base have different time series depending on the interests of the originating investigators. Gaps in the data bases are the result of changing budgets and priorities of the supporting programs. Local microclimatic effects and diel effects may restrict the validity of some parameters for specific studies. Dates when observations began: Sea Surface temperature records began in 1959; Stream temperature in 1962; Routine weather observations in 1963; Cloud cover in 1981; Secchi Disc in 2002; Surface Salinity in 2004 ; Water Color in 2006; Auke Lake ice out in 1967; Auke Lake freeze up in 1992.
