Water Quality Data, Upper Chesapeake Bay, MarineGEO, Smithsonian Environmental Research Center

Water quality data collected on a YSI EXO2 multiparameter sonde at the MarineGEO Upper Chesapeake Bay observatory (Smithsonian Environmental Research Center [SERC], Edgewater, MD, USA). The sonde is located at the SERC dock alongside meteorological and water level instrumentation.The local time at this site is Eastern Standard Time (UTC-5). Note that timestamps in this dataset are reported as Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).Data at this site prior to April 2024 may be off by one hour (one hour later than expected) during United States Daylight Saving Time (March through November).The Figshare resource also contains quality control metadata to assist with interpretation and analysis. Review the "README.txt" file for more information.This dataset should be cited as follows:Benson, Sam; Rich, Roy; Cheng, Selina; Tashjian, Allegra; Lonneman, Michael; Neale, Patrick (2024).

本数据集为部署于美国马里兰州埃奇沃特市史密森尼环境研究中心（Smithsonian Environmental Research Center [SERC]）下属的MarineGEO切萨皮克湾上游观测站的YSI EXO2多参数水质监测探头所采集的水质数据。该探头安装于SERC码头，与气象及水位监测仪器并置。本监测点的本地时区为美国东部标准时间（UTC-5），但数据集中的时间戳均采用协调世界时（UTC）标注。
需注意：2024年4月之前采集的本站点数据，在美国夏令时（3月至11月）期间可能存在1小时的偏差（较预期时间延后1小时）。
本Figshare资源附带质控元数据，可辅助数据解读与分析，详细信息请参阅"README.txt"文件。
