Chlorophyll Estimation in Lakes Using Multi-Parameter Sonde Data

Learn about chlorophyll estimation techniques in lakes through this conference presentation from the Georgia Water Resources Conference that explores the development of bias correction methods for converting chlorophyll-a fluorometer data to laboratory-extracted concentrations. Examine the challenges of measuring chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) in freshwater lakes and reservoirs, particularly in relation to algal blooms and lake trophic status assessment. Discover how researchers utilized YSI EXO2 sonde measurements taken at Lake Lanier between 2018-2020, comparing in-situ fluorometer readings with laboratory analysis to address issues like non-photochemical quenching (NPQ) that affect measurement accuracy. Gain insights into innovative approaches for more efficient and cost-effective chlorophyll monitoring in water resources management.
