Summary
Abstract: Water quality monitoring is conducted at 26 National Estuarine Research Reserves (NERR) at four locations within or adjacent to the reserve. The following parameters are collected at least every 30 minutes: water temperature, specific conductivity, salinity, percent saturation, dissolved oxygen concentration, water depth, pH and turbidity. All water quality data loggers will be deployed from a known depth from the bottom at each site.

Purpose: Research objectives Taskinas Creek (TC) Component: The Taskinas Creek watershed is representative of an inner coastal plain rural watershed within the southern Chesapeake Bay system. This watershed is dominated by forested and agricultural land uses with an increasing urban land use component. The drainage basin is suited for investigating hydrologic and non-point source water quality issues ... View entire text

Quality ATTRIBUTE ACCURACY REPORT: Anomalous/Suspect Data Frequent data anomalies were recorded in depth levels for several months potentially due to low-pressure weather fronts. This data remained in the database. According to the CDMO Operations Manual Version 3.0, depth measurements taken with the non-vented level probe can be influenced by up to 0.39 m (1.3 ft) during some low-pressure hurricane ...
