Five years of high-frequency data of phytoplankton zooplankton and limnology from a temperate eutrophic lake.

ABSTRACT: This study presents a comprehensive dataset from Lake Greifen, Switzerland, collected between April 2018 and June 2023, using high-frequency automated monitoring systems. The dataset integrates meteorological data, nutrient chemistry, water column profiles for water physics, and plankton underwater imaging, offering insights into the lake's physical and biological processes. A dual-magnification dark field underwater microscope captured hourly plankton dynamics at 3 m depth, providing size, shape, and taxonomic information. A profiler with a multiparametric probe monitored water temperature, oxygen, and other key parameters from 1 to 17 m depth, while weekly nutrient sampling complemented the measurements. Data processing involved rigorous cleaning protocols to remove technical artefacts,
