Summary

Temperature sensors were installed in the lake-bottom sediments of Ashumet, Long (Centerville), Santuit, and Shubael Ponds, all on Cape Cod, Massachusetts, three times during 2016–18 to obtain shallow vertical temperature profiles. The sensors were installed at 11 sites from July 27 to October 13, 2016; 10 sites from September 19 to October 11, 2017; and 2 sites from February 13 to February 23, 2018. The vertical temperature profilers are designed to collect temperature data at different depths in the lake-bottom sediments for the calculation of downward groundwater seepage rates, as described in child item "Calculations of lake-bottom seepage rates from vertical temperature profiles at four groundwater flow-through glacial kettle [...]
