Summary

Water quality. NERRs continuous WQ protocols and metadata: http://cdmo.baruch.sc.edu/

Parameters

Continuous: Temperature (deg. C), conductivity, salinity (ppt), dissolved oxygen (mg/L), turbidity (mg/L), pH, Monthly: Orthophosphate (mg/L), ammonium (mg/L), nitrate and nitrite (mg/L), chlorophyll a (mg/L), depth (m), total suspended solids (mg/L), total nitrogen (mg/L), pheophytin (ug/L)

Notes

Continuous WQ and discrete nutrient data available from CDMO (see Data Update Process for NERRs using CDMO Data - 2025-9-18.docx). Discrete nutrient data also loaded to WIN.

Application

NOAA's National Estuarine Research Reserve System (NERRS) acknowledges the importance of both long-term environmental monitoring programs and data and information dissemination through the support of the NERRS System-wide Monitoring Program (SWMP). The goal of the SWMP is to "identify and track short-term variability and long-term changes in the integrity and biodiversity of representative estuarine ecosystems and coastal watersheds for the purpose of contributing to effective national, regional and site specific coastal zone management.."
