Assessing spatial variability of nutrients, phytoplankton, and related water quality constituents in the California Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta at the landscape scale: 2022 High resolution mapping surveys

Description

Broad-area, high-resolution, boat-based water quality mapping surveys of the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta and Suisun Bay (Delta) of California, USA were conducted under different environmental/flow conditions in May, July, and October of 2022. The spatial and temporal variability of nutrients, phytoplankton, and related water quality parameters were assessed. This dataset includes measurements of nitrate, ammonium, orthophosphate, dissolved organic carbon, temperature, conductivity, dissolved oxygen, and chlorophyll as well as information about phytoplankton community composition.
