LakeMetabolizer - Tools for the Analysis of Ecosystem Metabolism

A collection of tools for the calculation of freewater metabolism from in situ time series of dissolved oxygen, water temperature, and, optionally, additional environmental variables. LakeMetabolizer implements 5 different metabolism models with diverse statistical underpinnings: bookkeeping, ordinary least squares, maximum likelihood, Kalman filter, and Bayesian. Each of these 5 metabolism models can be combined with 1 of 7 models for computing the coefficient of gas exchange across the air–water interface (k). LakeMetabolizer also features a variety of supporting functions that compute conversions and implement calculations commonly applied to raw data prior to estimating metabolism (e.g., oxygen saturation and optical conversion models).

laketemps - Lake Temperatures Collected by Situ and Satellite Methods from 1985-2009

Lake temperature records, metadata, and climate drivers for 291 global lakes during the time period 1985-2009. Temperature observations were collected using satellite and in situ methods. Climatic drivers and geomorphometric characteristics were also compiled and are included for each lake. Data are part of the associated publication from the Global Lake Temperature Collaboration project (http://www.laketemperature.org). See citation('laketemps') for dataset attribution.
