The data above came from a HydroCAT-EP multiparameter CTD in a shallow embayment from April - November. Can you correctly label the 4 plots shown above? The HydroCAT-EP measures the following parameters:
Hint: this area is subject to periods of eutrophication during the late summer/early fall.
From top to bottom, the plots contain:
Chlorophyll and dissolved oxygen are monitored closely at this site, as nitrate loading from a nearby harbor contributes to low dissolved oxygen conditions. Multiparameter instruments like the HydroCAT-EP help to catch these events and tie each parameter into a broader context.
