Summary

Two sensors, a vented conductivity, temperature and depth sensor (CTD) and a turbidity meter, were installed on a piling at the mouth of McAllister Creek at site MC3 (N 47° 06’ 01”/W 122° 43’ 36”) and connected to a telemetered data collection platform that was used to program, power, and log data for each sensor. Timing of the 15-minute sampling interval was synched among both sensors. The site is tidally influenced. The CTD (InSitu Aqua Troll) measured water temperature, water depth, specific conductance, and salinity from December 24, 2016 to February 17, 2017 (55 days). Water depth ranged from 0.52 to 5.49 meters. Temperature ranged from 1.1 to 9.8 degrees C. Specific conductance ranged from 5,500 to 43,100 uS/cm. Salinity ranged [...]
