Data_Quality_Information:
Attribute_Accuracy:
Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
Lake depth, elevation, and surface area were checked for accuracy where possible with National Park Service records.
Logical_Consistency_Report: No tests for logical consistency were conducted.
Completeness_Report: Nothing was excluded from this data set
Lineage:
Methodology:
Methodology_Type: Field
Methodology_Description:
Data on lake maximum depth was determined in the field using a hand-held sonar gun. Lake elevation was derived from 7.5 min USGS topographical maps, and lake surface area was determined by digitization of lake shorelines outlined on these maps. Lake depth, elevation, and surface area were checked for accuracy where possible with National Park Service records.
