YEAR: 1995-2000

PI: Charles Hopkinson

OTHERS: Joe Vallino

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DATA FILE: Information file for dissolved oxygen transect data, includes transect times, sunrise and sunset times, windspeed, solar radiation, and discharge from the Parker River.

KEYWORDS: dissolved oxygen, conductivity, gas, salinity gradient, metabolism

SITE TYPE: Estuary

RESEARCH LOCATION:

EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN AND METHODS:

This information file contains windspeed, solar radiation, and Parker River discharge data obtained from outside parties. Windspeed was taken from the Boston International Airport. Solar radiation was calculated by the Northeast Regional Climate Center. Discharge from the Parker River is measured by the United States Geological Survey.

NOTES AND COMMENTS:

Dusk Transect = hh:mm (24hr) - mid-point time of dusk transect sampling

Sunrise = hh:mm (24hr) - sunrise

Sunset = hh:mm (24hr) - sunset

Windspeed = m sec-1

Solar Radiation = MJ m-2 d-1
