Load depth data from Oliver et al. 2015.
Format
A data frame with 50607 observations of 8 variables:
lagoslakeid: unique identifier for each lake in LAGOS-NE. For each row of data in this table, the lagoslakeid identifies the focal lake for which other measures are calculated
nhdid: the 'Permanent_identifier' from the NHD, but is called the NHDID in LAGOS-NE
hu4id: the unique ID of the HU4 zone that the focal lake is located within
lat_decimal: lattitude geographic coordinate in decimal degrees
long_decimal: longitude geographic coordinate in decimal degrees
area: lake area in hectares
zmaxobs: observed maximum lake depth (meters)
zmaxpredict: predicted maximum lake depth (meters)
