Preview graphic

This dataset includes geochemical and associated physical data (depth, water temperature, salinity, density) collected using pump casts at fixed locations in the Lower Columbia River estuary from May 5, 1995 to March 6, 1998 (not inclusive) as part of the Columbia River Turbidity Maximum/Land Margin Ecosystem Research (CRETM/LMER) project. Data were submitted by Dr. Frederick Prahl, Oregon State Univ., College of Ocean and Atmospheric Sciences, Corvallis, OR.
