Estuaries
Water temp. Continuous Define longitudinal and transverse gradients
Surface, mid-depth, bottom. May only need short term checks for vertical startification then change to single depth if possible
Fixed buoys or platfroms. Spatial gradients measured using monthly discrete data at dense sampling grid compared to fixed stations which define the backbone gradient
DO Continuous with probe? There are calibratuion issues
Define longitudinal and transverse gradients
Surface, mid-depth, bottom. May only need short term checks for vertical startification then change to single depth if possible
