WATER-QUALITY RECORDS

PERIOD OF RECORD - Nov. 2009 to current year.

PERIOD OF DAILY RECORD - SPECIFIC CONDUCTANCE: Nov. 2009 to current year. SALINITY: Nov. 2009 to current year. WATER TEMPERATURE: Nov. 2009 to current year. TURBIDITY: Jun. 2016 to current year. DISSOLVED OXYGEN: Jun. 2016 to current year. pH: Jun. 2016 to current year. CHLOROPHYLL-A: Jun. 2016 to current year.

INSTRUMENTATION - Water-quality monitor recording specific conductance, water temperature, pH, chlorophyll A, turbidity, and dissolved oxygen.

REMARKS -

Turbidity data considered poor due to severe biofouling at the site location and extreme wind events causing significant turbulence.

Turbidity data that were previously reported in NTU were updated in October 2019 to reflect proper reporting units of FNU.
