Water-Quality Data from Continuously Monitored Sites in the Pamlico and NeuseRiver Estuaries, North Carolina, 1991-92

摘要

The purpose of the report is to provide a summary of the continuously monitoredwater-quality data collected from the Pamlico River and the Neuse River estuaries. The report covers the period from October 1991 through September 1992, which is the third full water year of data collection. Water-quality data were measured at 15-minute intervals at six sites in the Pamlico River estuary and at five sites in the Neuse River estuary. Measurements include near-surface and near-bottom specific conductance; near-surface water temperature; and near-surface, mid-depth, and near-bottom dissolved oxygen concentrations and percent saturation. Specific-conductance data were converted to and reported as salinity values. Instantaneous data are summarized as daily mean values in tables and graphs.
