Physical and chemical properties of San Francisco Bay waters, 1977

Basic data on the physical and chemical properties of San Francisco Bay waters are presented here. Samples were collected over the period March-November 1977 at approximately monthly intervals at 36 stations. The stations were located along the axis of the Bay from Calaveras Point in South San Francisco Bay to the town of Rio Vista on the Sacramento River. The samples were analyzed for the following core parameters: salinity, temperature, light transmission, chlorophyll a fluorescence, light extinction, turbidity, dissolved oxygen, pH, pCO 2 , orthophosphate, nitrate+nitrite, nitrite, ammonia, and silicate. Additional analyses were performed on selected discrete samples collected for particulate organic carbon, chlorophyll a, alkalinity, total CO 2 and suspended particulate matter. The results of these analyses and the analytical methods used are documented in this report.

Physical and chemical properties of the Potomac River and environs, April-May 1978

Basic data on the physical and chemical properties measured over the period 24 April through 4 May 1978 on the tidally influenced Potomac River and estuary are presented herein. One 28-hour time series, 45 vertical profiles, and approximately 170 surface observations were made of the distributions of salinity, temperature, light transmission, chlorophyll-a fluorescence, dissolved oxygen, partial pressure of CO2, orthophosphate, nitrate+nitrite, nitrite, ammonia, and silicate. Additional analyses were performed on discrete samples collected for particulate organic carbon, alkalinity, pH, suspended particulate matter, total phosphate, total nitrogen, total dissolved phosphate, and total dissolved nitrogen.

Physical and chemical properties of the Potomac River and environs, August 1978

Basic data on the physical and chemical properties measured over the period 21 August through 31 August 1978 on the tidally influenced Potomac River and estuary are presented herein. Forty-two vertical profiles, and approximately 170 surface observations were made of the distributions of salinity, temperature, light transmission, chlorophyll-a fluorescence, dissolved oxygen, partial pressure of CO2, orthophosphate, nitrate+nitrite, nitrite, ammonia, and silicate. Additional analyses were performed on discrete samples collected for particulate organic carbon, alkalinity, pH, suspended particulate matter, total phosphate, total nitrogen, total dissolved phosphate, and total dissolved nitrogen.

Physical and chemical properties of San Francisco Bay waters, 1969-1976

Basic data on the physical and chemical properties of San Francisco Bay are presented here. Samples were collected over the period 1969-1976 at approximately six-week intervals at 36 stations. The stations were located along the axis of the Bay from Calaveras Point in South San Francisco Bay to the town of Rio Vista on the Sacramento River. On most cruises vertical profiles of the water properties were taken at 12 of the 36 stations. The samples were analyzed for the following core parameters: salinity, temperature, light transmission, chlorophyll a fluorescence, dissolved oxygen, orthophosphate, nitrate+nitrite, nitrite, ammonia, and silicate. Other analyses performed on selected samples included: particulate organic carbon, alkalinity, pH, pCO 2 , and suspended particulate weight. The results of these analyses and the analytical methods used are documented in this report.

Hydrographic properties and primary productivity of San Francisco Bay waters, March 1976-July 1977

Data are presented on the quantitative relations between water chemistry and phytoplankton productivity in San Francisco Bay between March 1976 and July 1977. Spatial distributions are listed for: salinity, temperature, transmission, chlorophyll-a, fluorescence, dissolved oxygen, orthophosphate, nitrate + nitrite, nitrite, ammonia, particulate organic carbon, alkalinity, pH, pCO 2 , suspended sediment and turbidity. These samples were collected at 36 stations located along the axis of the Bay from Rio Vista on the Sacramento River to Calaveras Point in South San Francisco Bay, and along transects from the Golden Gate Bridge to the Farallon Islands. Also reported are the results of 59 experiments measuring in situ rates of micronutrient uptake and phytoplankton productivity at 9 locations throughout the Bay.
