That depends a great deal on the size of the lake and what of the many aspects you would like to measure. Let's take Lake Michigan.
I would measure the...
width and length in miles
surface area in square miles
depth in feet
volume in cubic miles
retention time in years
elevation in feet
pollutants in parts per million
You would use a thermometer to measure your temperature.
The measurement is for cations and anions.
The type of measurement used in science is typically quantitative, where observations are expressed in numerical values. This allows for precise and standardized comparisons and analysis of data. Measurements in science are often made using units of measurement such as meters, grams, seconds, etc.
volume measurements
Depending on the type of harness, you will need either just the dog's girth measurement (measure behind the front legs around the dog's belly) or if you are wanting a traditional fixed harness that slips over the dog's neck, you will need the circumference measurement of the dog's neck too. Most harnesses these days are the step-in type and the straps sit on the dog's shoulders rather than the neck so just measure the girth only. You can see a diagram on the reference link below. I am now adding a full 'How to measure for a dog harness guide' below.

The measurement is for cations and anions.
That type of measurement would be referred to as a qualitative measurement.
The general answer is "linear measurement". Specific possibilities would be feet, yards, and meters.
