Breakdown below 0-5 knots = 1 6-10 knots = 2 11-15 knots= 3 16-20 knots= 4 DO = dissolved oxygen measured in mg/L temp = temperature measured in degrees Celsius sal = salinity in psu bott_chlor = chlorophyll measured at the bottom of the water column in ug/L surf_chlor = chlorophyll measured at the water's surface in ug/L depth = water column depth measured at the bottom of the water column in meters sediment = general description of sediment type while sampling on boat high_organic = indicates if there was a visibly high amount of plant/organic matter in sample when brought on the boat
