Changes in Air Temperature and Precipitation Chemistry Drive Water Temperature and Acidity Trends in CACO Kettle Ponds
Smith S and Lee K. 2017. Changes in Air Temperature and Precipitation Chemistry Drive Water Temperature and Acidity Trends in CACO Kettle Ponds
Freshwater kettle ponds are one of CACO’s important natural resources. The water quality of these ponds, along with local precipitation chemistry has been measured since the 1980s. These datasets, along with air temperature obtained from a local weather station, were analyzed to assess how atmospheric and pond water quality conditions have changed over the last several decades.
