-
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.
