A vented conductivity, temperature and depth sensor (CTD, InSitu Aqua Troll) was installed at site NR1 (N 47° 04’ 16.1”/W 122° 42’ 15.5”) and continuously measured water temperature, water depth, specific conductance, and salinity at 15-minute intervals from February 11, 2016 to July 18, 2016 (159 days). The sensor was replaced with a vented water-level logger (InSitu Level Troll) on July 19, 2016 and deployed until March 19, 2018 (608 days). The site is tidally influenced and located approximately 4.1 km upstream from the mouth of the Nisqually River and within the tidal prism. The elevation (NAVD88) of the top of the deployment pipe was surveyed by RTN-GPS. Tape-down measurements from the top of the pipe to the...

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...

Discharge and suspended sediment data were collected from October 2016 to Febuary 2017 at the NR0 site. Data was collected immediately down stream of Old Pacific Hwy SE bridge during a bridge measurement and approximately 100 meters below bridge for a boat measurement. Data collection from the bridge has been ongoing since 1968 but data collection from a boat was first attempted October 21, 2016 during this data collection series. Suspended sediment sample and discrete discharge data at this site are available at: https://waterdata.usgs.gov/wa/nwis/inventory/?site_no=12090240&agency_cd=USGS&. A summary of suspended-sediment sample data are provided with this data release in the file NR0_SSC_summary.csv.

Multiple sensors for measuring stage (water level), water temperature, specific conductivity, turbidity and water velocity were installed at site NR2 (N 47° 04' 46.1"/W 122° 42' 30.2"), located approximately 3.1 km upstream from the mouth of the Nisqually River and within the tidal prism. The sensors were connected to a cell-phone telemetered, data collection platform (DCP) used to program and power each sensor as well as synchronize the timing of 15-minute measurement intervals. A vented conductivity, temperature and depth sensor (CTD, InSitu Aqua Troll) measured water temperature, water depth, specific conductance, and salinity from May 11, 2016 to August 3, 2016 (85 days) and from September 8, 2016 to March 16,...
