Hourly water temperature of 28 experimental mesocosms and air temperature from July to September 2022
The dataset comprises hourly water temperature data of an experimental mesocosm facility as well as air temperatures from beginning of July to end of September 2022. The experiment aimed to investigate the effect of different nutrient regimes on Taste and Odour issues. Mesocosms were filled with reservoir water and water temperature was measured by platinum resistance thermometers (PRT) shaded by a plastic cover, sited around mid-depth, radially offset by 30 cm from the mesocosm's side wall and logged by a Campbell Scientific Data Logger. Air temperature was measured at a weather station within the mesocosm compound (Vaisala weather transmitter WXT520) at around 2.7m height.

Provenance & quality
The hourly average presented here is calculated from 5-minutely data over the following hour, e.g. the value for 1 p.m. is the average of the data between 1 and 1:55 p.m. All data is given in GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) and dates from 6th July to 30th September 2022.
Whenever the difference between the hourly averaged two water temperature sensor data was less than 0.2 °C, the average between both temperatures was calculated. If the difference was larger than 0.2 °C, data was checked against the overall average of the temperature sensors recorded by each data logger. Whenever the difference was larger than 0.2 °C, one of the two temperature sensors had drifted either higher than the average or below the average temperature. In those cases, this sensor was ignored and only data from one temperature sensor was used during those occasions (see table in the supporting documentation).
