The warm tones represent warmer water and cool tones represent colder water. You can see changes in the temperature profile of the lake throughout the season and from year to year. In the fall, the lake experiences turnover, which refers to the mixing of surface and bottom waters in the lake due to changes in air temperature. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53cfcf97e4b09630bab15f6d/1406219293584-TDYISTNGMFY1QUUDS4O1/image-asset.jpeg Historical From the monthly measurements made by the National Park Service staff in Acadia, we can see a change in the water clarity since the monitoring program began in the 1980s. These changes in water clarity were one of the primary reasons for the installment of the buoy on Jordan Pond. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53cfcf97e4b09630bab15f6d/1413206519757-ZSVCXUQNCM39KVJFMULT/image-asset.png Historical Comparison of dissolved oxygen (DO) measurements from 2012 Acadia National Park (ANP) water monitoring samples (open black diamonds) with 2013 buoy readings (blue line) since deployment in early July 2013.

Temperature, dissolved oxygen, and chlorophyll measurements from the Jordan Pond surface water during the 2017 ice-free season. Chlorophyll is an indicator of phytoplankton biomass. Phytoplankton perform photosynthesis, producing dissolved oxygen in the process. While other factors can also affect dissolved oxygen levels in lakes, chlorophyll and dissolved oxygen are often closely linked. Additionally, as temperature of the surface waters increase, the water can hold less dissolved oxygen. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53cfcf97e4b09630bab15f6d/1531320832681-9XO87H2KLKE2AZNK990D/JP+2017+fdom+rain.PNG Data Visualizations Figure 2. Daily rainfall and FDOM measurements from the 2017 ice-free season. Fluorescent dissolved organic matter (FDOM) can be used as a proxy for dissolved organic carbon (DOC), which influences the water clarity in Jordan Pond. Autochthonous DOC is generated within the lake by photosynthetic algae and/or aquatic vegetation, while allochthonous DOC is produced on the landscape as a result of decomposition of organic matter. Allochthonous DOC can be transported from the landscape to Jordan Pond by run-off during or after rainfall. While many factors can contribute to FDOM, this figure shows how rainfall events can increase FDOM levels in Jordan Pond—note the jump in FDOM during the late-October storm, which dropped over 3 inches of rain!   https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53cfcf97e4b09630bab15f6d/1531320770677-V9AWBSUH4X74ABO8U0P0/JP+2017+thermal.JPG Data Visualizations
