INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. — This year, on Jan. 5, there were high fives, whooping and hollering on the UC Davis research vessel. New Year’s Eve had long past, and everyone had driveways full of snow waiting to be shoveled at home. Why the festivities?
The reason for the celebration was “clear.” The first lake clarity measurement for 2022 was just taken and the Secchi disk was visible at an astounding 138 feet below the lake surface. That is the second deepest measurement recorded since routine monitoring started in 1968, the best being 142 feet on Feb. 8, 1968. It is worth noting that a majority of TERC’s sampling team had not even been born at that time and the current, aging research vessel had yet to be built.
What did this measurement signify? Had the lake’s clarity been restored? Had the devastating fires and smoke from just a few months earlier somehow jolted the system back half a century? Read more at the link below.
