Water-quality from continuously
monitored sites in the Pamlico and Neuse River estuaries, North
Carolina, 1989-90
Open-File Report 91-465
By R.G. Garrett and J.D. Bales
Abstract
Beginning in April 1989, water quality measurements were made at
six sites in or near Pamlico River estuary and at five sites in
or near the Neuse River estuary. Measurements taken at 15-minute
intervals included near-surface and near-bottom specific
conductance; near-surface water temperature; and near-surface,
mid-depth, and near-bottom dissolved-oxygen concentrations.
Water-quality data obtained from continuously-monitored sites in
the Pamlico River estuary and the Neuse River estuary are
presented for the period April 1989 through September 1990.
Instantaneous values for selected periods are summarized in a
series of box plots. Instantaneous maximum and minimum values
are also tabulated. Daily mean values of salinity, water
temperature, and dissolved-oxygen concentrations for the entire
period are presented in tables and graphs.
