Dissolved Oxygen and Oxygen saturation do not change significantly and water remains well

oxygenated with values between 70 and 80% and within the regulation levels.

Salinity remains very stable with values around 33.

Water Temperature drops along the profile with a range of variation of about 2 ᴼC.

Colored Dissolved Organic Matter slightly decreases downward.

Photosynthetically Active Radiation decreases with increasing water depth from values

around 2000 to practically zero and has a vertical attenuation coefficient of 0.86.

oxygenated with values between 58 and 70% and within the regulation levels (all values above

42% DO Saturation).

possible to define an increasing trend with water depth although the change is of 0.2 PSU.

Water Temperature drops along the profile with a range of variation of about 2 ᴼC.

Colored Dissolved Organic Matter slightly decreases downward.

Dissolved Oxygen and Oxygen saturation are generally low with some oscillations after 10 ft

water depth. All values exceed the regulation levels (below 42% DO Saturation).

Salinity remains very stable with values around 37.5 and captures a decrease at 10 ft. Given

the sensitivity of the sensors it is possible to define an increasing trend thereafter although the

change is of 0.5 PSU.

Water Temperature drops along the profile with a range of variation of about 1 ᴼC.

Colored Dissolved Organic Matter remains very stable with values around 38 mg m-3 and an

increase is observed after 13 ft water depth.

Photosynthetically Active Radiation exponentially decreases with water depth with some

variations at the surface and a vertical attenuation coefficient of 1.08.

Dissolved Oxygen and Oxygen saturation show an increasing tendency after 6.5 ft and water

remains well oxygenated with all values above 42% DO Saturation, according to the regulation

levels.

Salinity remains very stable with values around 38.5 and captures a slight decrease around 6

ft.

Water Temperature drops along the profile with a range of variation of about 2 ᴼC.

Colored Dissolved Organic Matter increases along the profile.

Photosynthetically Active Radiation decreases with increasing water depth and has a vertical

attenuation coefficient of 0.45.

Figure 170. Profile of physicochemical properties of station No. 28C

Dissolved Oxygen and Oxygen saturation remains constant and water remains well oxygenated with an

average value of 95.3%, without exceeding the regulation levels (all values above 42% DO Saturation).

Salinity remains very stable with values around 37.

Water Temperature drops along the profile but the change is only of 0.4 ᴼC.

Colored Dissolved Organic Matter drops along the profile with a range of variation of 33 mg m-3.

Photosynthetically Active Radiation exponentially decreases with increasing water depth and has a

vertical attenuation coefficient of 0.74.
