Item 2010 Lake Superior Mooring Deployment Campaign(2021-03-10) Austin, Jay A; jaustin@d.umn.edu; Austin, Jay; University of Minnesota Duluth, Large Lakes ObservatorySince 2005, investigators at UM Duluth's Large Lakes Observatory have been deploying sub-surface moorings in Lake Superior to investigate thermal structure and currents. This submission contains all temperature and current data from deployments that occurred in 2010.Item Materials to re-create results of Austin et al Zooplankton Migration paper(2020-11-05) Austin, Jay A; jaustin@d.umn.edu; Austin, Jay A; University of Minnesota Duluth, Large Lakes ObservatoryIn a recent manuscript, zooplankton are shown to change their migratory behavior due to a change in stratification regime. This submission includes data and MATLAB scripts sufficient to recreate the four figures in the paper.Item Radiatively Driven Convection, 2019 field campaign(2020-10-23) Austin, Jay A; jaustin@d.umn.edu; Austin, Jay A; University of Minnesota Duluth, Large Lakes ObservatoryFrom May-July 2019, a large array of equipment was deployed in western Lake Superior to study a process called Radiatively Driven Convection (RDC). This occurs when solar radiation is incident on fresh water whose temperature is below the temperature of maximum density, heating and densifying surface waters, driving convection. The goal of the project was to characterize the spatial and temporal scales of this convective process.
