Temperature, salinity and depth data from Yaquina Bay, Oregon from May 2012 through July 2012
On this page:
These are temperature, salinity and depth data collected by the US EPA at Yaquina Bay, Oregon using YSI datasondes (Yellow Springs Instrument). The YSI datasonde was deployed on the Oregon State University Pumphouse dock near the entrance to Yaquina Bay. The YSI sondes were replaced approximately monthly with newly calibrated YSIs (calibrated following standard operating procedures). Upon retrieval, the YSI instrument was returned to the laboratory where its performance was checked. When the instrument was serviced in the field, an independent meter was used to collect independent readings for verification. The calibration and post-calibration data have been reviewed, and bad readings removed (e.g., when instrument was out of the water during transport); however, because these data were collected using automated instrumentation, other bad readings may be present (especially due to biofouling).
