17284 AFSC/ABL: Auke Bay Climatology 1959-2013 Data Set Published / External 12324 Auke Bay Laboratories Project Completed Unknown 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. 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.

User must read and fully comprehend the metadata prior to use. Data should not be used beyond the limits of the source scale. Acknowledgement of NOAA, as the source from which these data were obtained, in any publications and/or other representations of these data is suggested. https://www.afsc.noaa.gov/ABL/datasets.htm Auke Bay Laboratories Data Sets hosted by AFSC Windows Microsoft Excel spreadsheets 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.
