Fisheries Oceanography in Coastal Alabama (FOCAL) salinity data from mooring (Fall 2007)

The oceanographic community routinely collects time-series data of hydrographic properties and water current velocity of the marine environment. Such data are essential for establishing baseline characteristics of marine and estuarine ecosystems. This data from small coastal ocean observing system 25 kilometers southwest of the mouth of Mobile Bay, Alabama, that the Dauphin Island Sea Lab has been operating. The salinity data were collected between October 2007 and January 2008.

海洋学界常规采集海洋环境的水文要素与水流速度时间序列数据。此类数据对于确立海洋与河口生态系统的基线特征至关重要。本数据集取自美国阿拉巴马州莫比尔湾河口西南25公里处的小型近岸海洋观测系统，该系统由多芬岛海洋实验室（Dauphin Island Sea Lab）运维。本次采集的盐度数据时段为2007年10月至2008年1月。
