Dataset Title
Water Quality Measurements from Western Lake Ontario with Synchronous Co-located Multispectral UAV and Satellite Data from 2022-06-14
Dataset DOI
https://doi.org/10.20383/103.0796
Abstract
The "Data.xlsx" file offers data about various water quality parameters collected from Western Lake Ontario. It comprises in-situ measurements for parameters like chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) and Total Suspended Solids (TSS). The dataset also includes co-located multispectral pixel values from the MicaSense RedEdge-MX mounted on the eBee X UAV and the OLI-2 sensor on Landsat 9. For user clarity, the "Description" sheet provides detailed annotations for each column in the “Data” sheet. Python scripts used in the methodology of the research is also provided in the “Code” folder.
