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 # near the mouth of Willow Creek versus the depth in meters. The salinity of the water increased at depth while both the temperature and the DO dropped, with the latter slipping into stressful ranges for salmonids (<5 ppm). Breaching of the estuary allows for an exchange of salt water along the bottom of the estuary here and new sea water carries higher dissolved oxygen (See WQ: Estuary Temperature, Salinity and D.O. @ Station #3.2 October 1996). Data provided by Merritt-Smith Consulting (1997) from a study performed for Sonoma County. See InfoLinks for more information on study methods and results.
