How we measured

Level is the Lake Tahoe gauge height plus the gauge datum, in feet above sea level. The CSV also has the raw gauge height. Older years come from the USGS daily record. Recent days come from the live gauge feed, averaged by day.

Water temperature is the lake surface from the NASA buoy when it reports, and from the MUR satellite record otherwise. Days with no reading are blank.

Days are Pacific time. A blank cell means no reading that day, never zero.
