UK AWMN Thermistor Methods
In order to determine long-term changes in lake temperatures as well as the timing of stratification and mixing events thermistors have been deployed at UK AWMN lake sites since 1999. Readings are taken every two hours. Thermistor pairs are used, one Vemco Minilog12-T is positioned 1.5m from the lake bottom and the other positioned 1m from the water surface. Both are attached to one of the UK AWMN sediment trap arrays at each site, and are downloaded annually in August.
