Abstract

    The Global Evaluation of the Impacts of Storms on freshwater Habitat and Structure of phytoplankton Assemblages (GEISHA) project is using long-term monitoring datasets and high-frequency data available through international networks to address questions about the impacts of storms on phytoplankton community in over 40 lakes across the globe. GEISHA has been developed within the context of the Global Lake Ecological Observatory Network (GLEON) initiative called “Storm-blitz”. “Storm-blitz” assembles an international group of investigators interested in contributing to theoretical discussions and sharing data to answer questions about the impacts of extreme events on phytoplankton communities. Although climate change is expected to cause more intense and frequent extreme weather events, we only have a basic understanding of how these events might alter freshwater phytoplankton communities. The storm-blitz group was created in 2016 and gathers 17 researchers with diverse skillsets and experiences to focus on data compilation and analysis (https://www.geisha-stormblitz.fr/).

    • Title: Acton Daily Weather Data
    • Start Date: 1992-01-01
    • End Date: 2010-04-23
    • Description: Daily average values of weather data for Acton Lake from station OXF122 located in Oxford, OH near Acton Lake that were collected at 1-hour interval, except rain data which are a daily sum. Variables include air temperature, rain, relative humidity, solar radiation, average wind speed, and wind direction.
