Moose Pond High Resolution Temperature Monitoring South Basin

Unfortunately, the sensor monitoring 1-meter depth malfunctioned. Because of this, data collected during regular testing visits was used to help create a heat map for this year. The water column of Moose Pond’s south basin was weakly stratified when sensors were deployed. Surface water temperatures increased gradually until reaching peak temperature of 29.4 °C (84.9 °F) in mid-July. Shallow waters began to cool and mix with waters from the middle depths in mid-August. While data from the 1m sensor is absent, remaining data indicated that Moose Pond’s south basin was likely mixed for the season just before sensors were removed on October 27, 2024.
