A data frame with observations of 8 variables:

  • lagoslakeid: unique lake identifier developed for LAGOS-NE

  • nhdid: the 'Permanent_identifier' from the NHD, but is called the NHDID in LAGOS-NE

  • lagosname1: name of lake from source dataset used as the authoritative lake name for LAGOSNE

  • meandepth: mean lake depth (meters)

  • meandepthsource: source of mean depth data, see "lagos_source_program" for definitions

  • maxdepth: maximum lake depth (meters)

  • maxdepthsource: source of maximum depth data, see "lagos_source_program" for definitions

  • legacyid: unique lake identifier from the original water quality source dataset, this is not standardized and each source dataset has its own system
