NOTES

  1. The comma-separated value (CSV) files can be opened with Microsoft Excel and other common spreadsheet programs.
  2. All measurements and their units are described by a header in the first row of each column.   Resize the width of each column to see the full text of each column header.
  3. As of 2012-Apr-12, all oxygen concentration measurements have been compensated for salinity and temperature.
  4. Each Time value is common to all measurements in its row.   As indicated, times are given in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), not local (PDT/PST) time.
  5. Missing measurements are indicated by blank data cells NOT substitute values.
  6. Meteorological measurements are available from BS1 only.
  7. The geographic coordinates of the water quality measurements for each station are indicated on the Water Quality Station Map unless otherwise noted in a column's header row.   At present, measurement locations differ only for the current velocity data from BM1.
  8. Latitude and longitude coordinates (given in decimal degrees) are projected using the WGS84 datum.
  9. All depths and elevations are relative to Mean Low Low Water (MLLW).
  10. Current velocities are given as U (east-west), V (north-south) and, where available, W (up-down) vector components.  These directions are cardinal compass directions, with W (up-down) corrected for pitch and roll.
