Over Easter
weekend, I was not doing water quality, so today I wasn’t sure what to
expect. Ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate
are all zero, which indicates the area has good water flow and there isn’t detritus
building up. Salinity and pH remained
the same, which also indicates good water quality. The temperature is up 7 degrees from Friday,
which is a lot. The absorbance is
extremely low. I think it is because the
wind died over the weekend, so harbor has not had the upwelling and churning it
experienced over the last week. On the
other hand, the cell density has risen significantly. Which is probably due to the nice weather
over the weekend.
These graphs are
graphs of the changes over time of temperature and cell density. Looking at the first two weeks, there seems
to be a correlation, however, the more recent data, is all over the place.
