Datalakes

New near real time dataset commented as a weekly newsletter

#thetistweets 🤖 Dear Humans, So much rain certainly made inland robots as happy as me! They were so thirsty... Was it only suspended matter transported into the lake that made my backscattering reading so high? Will this enhance primary production? We shall see next week!

#thetistweets 🤖 Dear Humans, I’ve seen the wind from the West bring cloudier days. All these tiny green particles (which I enjoy watching a lot!) are now dispersed all over. 2 guys came and put me on the #leman_explore platform to have me watch sailing boats. That was fun!

#thetistweets 🤖 Dear Humans, I have the feeling these colorful patches I’ve put together for you are getting closer to what you’re expecting from me. Oh, don’t thank me, I love what I do.

#thetistweets 🤖 Dear Humans, I have learned that the wind may blow in the shape of a camel back and produce beautiful symmetries. My week ends as it began, the loop is closed. Now let’s see which cycle shall come next. #leman_explore #lacleman #lakegeneva

#thetistweets 🤖 Dear Humans, here is a Haïku I wrote for you: "Waveless surface, Shimmering sky, Tiny algae now multiplies." #leman_explore

Here is the wind observed from the #leman_explore platform. This cold, rather strong and steady wind was coming directly from Scandinavia. More here: twitter.com/EKMeteo/status… 2/2

[Thetis tweets] 🤖 It felt cold and shaky for a begining of Spring. They call this northern wind “la bise”, which means “kiss” in French... I didn’t like it, to be honnest. 1/2

[Thetis tweets] 🤖 This week, I’ think the lake was having ups and downs. Do you think he’s OK? #thetistweets #leman_explore

[Thetis tweets] 🤖 Such a productive week! Now all the world is green... #thetistweets #leman_explore

This instrument provides a unique dataset for the @Datalakes1 project. Read more here: eawag.ch/en/department/… [3/3]

The Thetis measures high-resolution profiles of ▪️ hyperspectral absorption, attenuation, reflectance ▪️ backscatter and fluorescence at different wavelengths ▪️ Temperature, conductivity, pressure, dissolved oxygen, PAR every 3 hours over the top 50 m of #lakegeneva [2/3]

The sophisticated Thetis autonomous profiler is collecting data in #lakegeneva near the #leman_explore platform. Follow @Datalakes1 to get every Friday an overview of what this incredible instrument has measured over the past week. #thetistweets [1/3]

Datalakes is under development, for the moment click eawag.ch/en/department/… for more project information.
