#' @title The Dipteran-Volume Weighted Hypolimnetic Oxygen (VWHO) Calibration Set from Quinlan and Smol 2010
#' @description \code{vwhoQuinlan2010} is a 54x47 data frame containing the VWHO concentrations and sedimentary midge (chironomid and chaoborid) assemblage data for the 54 lake south-central Ontario calibration set described in Quinlan and Smol (2001, 2010).
#' 
#' The purpose of this dataset is to facilitate reproducing the described midge-inferred VWHO model for application to down-core midge sedimentary assemblage data.
#' 
#' Information on each lake (i.e. latitude, longitude, etc) and the 44 taxa included in the model are provided in Quinlan and Smol (2001,2010).
#' 
#' The \code{vwhoQuinlan2010} data frame contains the following 47 columns:
#' \itemize{
#'   \item Column 1: Lake name
#'   \item Column 2: Average VWHO values for each of the 54 lakes (mg/L)
#'   \item Column 3-46: Relative abundance data (as \% dipteran) for the 44 chironomid taxa included in the Quinlan and Smol 2010 model
#'   \item Column 47: Relative abundance data (as \% dipteran) for total chaoborids
#'   }
#' @docType data
#' @usage vwhoQuinlan2010
#' @format A data frame containing 54 observations of 47 variables.
