Description

The effects of Hurricane Harvey were studied. This dataset includes hydrographic measurements (temperature, salinity, oxygen, pH, refraction) from San Antonio Bay, northwest Gulf of Mexico estuaries along the Texas coast. They were taken during eleven quarterly sampling trips on a small boat, Feb. 2017 - July 2019.

Methods & Sampling

Dataset acquisition description

Hydrographic measurements were made at each station with a YSI 6600 multi-parameter instrument. The parameters were read from the digital display unit.
