Variability in Salinity, Temperature and Dissolved Oxygen in Southwest Mobile Bay, Alabama (2007)

Dataset extent

Map data © OpenStreetMap contributors

From June-October, 2007, time series data were collected from three stationary moorings in Mobile Bay, Alabama. The three stations were at Denton Reef, a point 10.6 km north of Denton Reef, and a point 10.6 km south of Denton Reef. The data collected include conductivity, temperature, pressure, and dissolved oxygen (DO) at the bottom for each station, and mid-depth and surface for Denton Reef. Vertical profiles of conductivity, temperature, and DO were also obtained from 24 sampling sites in six east-west transects across the study area. From these measurements, other parameters were derived, including total depth, salinity, and saturation DO concentration.
