Abstract:
The New York City Department of Environmental Protection (NYCDEP) collects water quality data from the Rockaway Inlet into the Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge as part of its New York Harbor Water Quality Monitoring Program. Measurements taken operationally on a monthly basis include weather conditions (dry or wet), water depth, and secchi disk depth, as well as top and bottom measurements of water sample temperature, water sample depth, salinity, density, pH, conductivity, turbidity, light transmissivity, dissolved oxygen, dissolved oxygen saturation, dissolved organic carbon, nitrate, nitrite, fluorometer, ammonium, Total Kjeldahl Nitrogen, ortho-phosphate, phosphorus, chlorophyll-a, total coliform, fecal coliform, enterococcus bacteria, Photosynthetically Active Radiation (PAR), oxidation reduction potential, current speed, current direction, wind speed, wind direction, silicon dioxide, total suspended solids, total organic carbon, five-day biochemical oxygen demand, beam attenuation coefficient, plate count broth, and bacteria. The temporal coverage of the data spans 11 years from January 1, 2001 through December 31, 2011.
Purpose: To provide water quality measurements in an area stretching from Rockaway Inlet into the Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge.
