Statement

The water for the 16 mesocosms was collected from Windermere on 29th and 30th March 2023 and nutrients were added to some of the mesocosms throughout the experiment. Water temperature was measured every 5 minutes by platinum resistance thermometers (PRT) shaded by a plastic cover, sited around mid-depth, radially offset by 30 cm from the mesocosms’ side wall and logged by a Campbell Scientific Data Logger. 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 are given in GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) and dates from 21st April to 7th November 2023. 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 were 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). Air temperature was measured at a weather station within the mesocosm compound (Vaisala weather transmitter WXT520) at around 2.7m height.
