In 2011, two large tropical cyclone passed over northeastern North America. We examined the effects of the large storm systems had on lakes along the storm tracks from the Atlantic coast inland through our region. We collected data on the thermal stratification and ecosystem metabolism. We published these results in a 2012 paper in Environmental Science and Technology (Klug et al. 2012). We have now published the data for anyone to explore or further analyze. It is available through the Environmental Data Initiative at the link below.
