South Biscayne Bay Water Quality: A Twelve Year Record for Biscayne National Park

摘要

An observational study was performed on a set of water quality data obtained in time and space over Biscayne Bay, Florida. In all, 131 sampling episodes were carried out over a period of twelve years. Data summaries of 11 variables were calculated for all of the sampling stations and the categories of sampled depths. On the average, ammonium, turbidity, and dissolved oxygen were the most variable; pH and nitrate ions were the next most variable, while salinity and conductivity were the least variable.
