Topic	WQ: Estuary Temp, Salinity and DO Grab Sta #2 11/7/2000 Pre-Breaching

 

Caption:  This chart shows the Russian River estuary temperature in Celsius, dissolved oxygen (DO) in parts per million (ppm) and salinity in parts per thousand (ppt) at Station #2 versus the depth in meters before the estuary was breached on November 7, 2000. The salinity of the water was near fresh in the first two meters but salinity increased below two meters. The temperature remained relatively stable at depth but the DO dropped with to stressful or lethal ranges for salmonids (<5 ppm) at depths greater than four meters. See Picture tab for map. Data provided by Merritt-Smith Consulting (2001) from a study performed for Sonoma County. See InfoLinks for more information on study methods and results.
