Adirondack Lake Sampling Sites

Source: R/data.R
adirondack_sites.Rd

A dataset containing example lake sampling sites from the Adirondack region of New York State. These synthetic but realistic coordinates demonstrate typical multi-lake sampling scenarios.

Usage

adirondack_sites

Format

A data frame with 12 rows and 5 variables:

Site

Unique site identifier

lake.name

Name of the lake

latitude

Latitude in decimal degrees (WGS84)

longitude

Longitude in decimal degrees (WGS84)

datetime

Date and time of sampling (POSIXct)

Source

Synthetic data for demonstration purposes

Details

The dataset includes sites from four Adirondack lakes:

  • Blue Mountain Lake (3 sites)

  • Raquette Lake (4 sites)

  • Long Lake (2 sites)

  • Tupper Lake (3 sites)
