Dataset extent

Hydrography and turbidity data were collected from 17 stations around the current site of Gaillard Island between November 1977 and October 1978, at multiple depths from surface to bottom. Three stations were sampled monthly; the rest were approximately bi-monthly or quarterly. Data include water temperature, salinity, turbidity, and total suspended solids.
