Salinity, temperature and water levels and other data from fixed stations in the Gulf of Mexico from 1933-07-01 to 1987-07-21 (NCEI Accession 8800149)
This dataset consists of volume discharges from the Mississippi and Atchafalaya rivers collected by Louisiana State University from September 1985 to December 1987 as part of the MMS/OCS development and potential coastal habitat alteration. The sampling area was coastal Louisiana. Parameters reported are salinity, temperature and water levels. This work was funded under MMS contract number 14-12-0001-30252. The documentation includes the data format and site identification. More information can be found in "Causes of Wetland Loss in the Coastal Central Gulf of Mexico", Vol II: Technical Narrative, OCS study MMS 87-0120, R.E. Turner and D.R. Calhoun (eds.), Louisiana State University, 1988.
This dataset also includes historical water level data going back to 1933.
