• Historic seawater data for Yaquina Bay 1988-2004 listed below by year.

  • To find data from Nov.1, 2007 to Sept. 25, 2013 go to: http://yaquina.loboviz.com/.

  • FYI: the Yaquina Bay LOBO was removed from the water Sep 25, 2013.

  • Measurements in the files shown below were logged every 6 minutes until December 1999, where thenceforth measurements are logged every 15 minutes.

  • Tide height is measured in feet, temperature in Celsius, salinity in ppt (parts per thousand).  Dates  are formatted as yymmdd; times formatted as hhmm

 

 Instrumentation and location:

  •     Salinity: OMEGA non-contact Conductivity sensor, model CDCN-108 (no longer manufactured);

  •     Temperature: OMEGA Temperature Probe PR-11-2-100-1/8-6-E.

  •     Two locations for each instrument: Yaquina Bay intake dock and inside Newport Aquaculture Laboratory (NAL) building (water from bay reservoir flows through piping system into buildings where measurements are taken).

 

Accuracy/Corrections:

  • Tide height is approximate; measurements of salinity have periods of slight inaccuracy.

  • Salinity changes erratically; may be off by 6 ppt.

  • Since mid-1996, salinity data for Yaquina Bay is wrong.

  • Small blocks of data are unavailable during periods of instrument malfunction.

  • From Oct. 2000 til 16:00 on Feb. 1 2001, there is no data for the Yaquina Bay temperatures. From December 1991 onwards, there is no data for approximate tide height.
