Conductivity, dissolved oxygen, temperature, light intensity, and turbidity data collected in the Bay St. Louis, Mississippi from 2018-03-14 to 2018-05-15

In-situ oceanographic data were collected in Spring 2018 for eleven sites to assess the influx of water into the northwest Mississippi Sound. Lander platforms were outfitted with sensors for measuring water quality parameters and deployed in a line between Bay St. Louis, Mississippi, and Cat Island. Conductivity (low and high range), (μS/cm), specific conductance (μS/cm), and dissolved oxygen (mg/L) were collected 2018-03-14 to 2018-04-25, with a sample taken every five minutes. Temperature (°F) and light intensity (lum/sq ft) were collected for ten sites 2018-03-14 to 2018-05-15 with a sample taken every five minutes. Turbidity (FTU) was collected at one site 2018-03-14 to 2018-03-22 with a sample taken every minute. In addition to the temperature measurement from the temperature and light sensor, the conductivity and dissolved oxygen sensors also reported temperature values, which were included.
