Data Release: Modeling coastal salinity regime for biological application

Salinity regimes in coastal ecosystems are highly dynamic and driven by complex geomorphic and hydrological processes. Estuarine biota are generally adapted to salinity fluctuation, but are vulnerable to salinity extremes. Characterizing coastal salinity regime for ecological studies therefore requires representing extremes of salinity ranges at various time scales relevant to ecology (e.g., daily, monthly, seasonally). This data release provides supporting data for the journal article titled, "Quantifying uncertainty in coastal salinity regime for biological application using quantile regression," by Yurek et al. (2022). A spatially-resolved model was developed that derives quantile distributions of salinity related...
