Synoptic Monitoring Event on July 31, 2024
for Cayuga Lake under Base Flow conditions
Notes: Cayuga Lake near Mouth of Salmon Creek (CLMSC-1) & Middle of Lake Opposite Mouth of Salmon Creek (E) (CLMSC-3 Shallow) - Sample was collected at 2x Secchi depth due to incorrect Secchi depth measurement. Field duplicate sampling failed for soluble reactive phosphorus, SRP data are not reported.
