BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DATA FILE:
15 minute readings of water column temperature, salinity, oxygen, depth, and turbidity in the upper Parker River Estuary at Middle Bridge
KEYWORDS: temperature, oxygen, conductivity, salinity, turbidity, depth, dissolved, saturation, gas, Parker, monitoring
SITE TYPE: Monitoring
RESEARCH LOCATION: MON-PR-Middle Bridge YSI
Parker River, Middle Road Bridge (Thurlow’s Bridge, Byefield, Massachusetts)
Latitude 42o 45’ 31.9”, Longitude 70o 54’ 3.2”
EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN AND METHODS:
Measurements are made using a YSI 6600 water quality sonde with internal datalogging capabilities. YSI Sonde sensors consist of 6562 dissolved oxygen probe (rapid pulse – Clark type,polarographic), 6560 conductivity/temperature probe (thermistor), vented level depth sensor (stainless steel strain gauge) and 6026 wiping turbidity probe(optical, 90o scatter).
