BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DATA FILE: YSI probe deployment at the confluence of Nelson Creek corresponding with the fall equinox period of equal daylight and darkness.

KEYWORDS: YSI, dissolved oxygen, temperature, salinity, depth, metabolism

EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN AND METHODS:  Measurements taken with a YSI water quality sonde with internal datalogging capabilities deployed at a fixed station in mid-channel, approximately 10cm above the creek bottom.  Sonde was programmed to collect data for temperature, conductivity, salinity, depth and dissolved oxygen every 5 minutes.  Data collection began at low tide (around dusk). Water samples were collected for 24 hours while YSI data was collected for 48 hours.
