        /Abstract:/
            Water characteristics of Yaquina Bay and Hatfield Marine
            Science Center's in-building seawater system, measured every
            six minutes since 1988. Tide height data is collected at the
            HMSC/OSU boat dock. Water temperature and salinity data is
            collected at the HMSC/OSU pumphouse dock. 
        /Purpose:/ Seawater characteristics for modeling or informative
        purposes.
