Station 8

Data from station 8 does not allow a vertical profile, as it was too shallow allowing only one depth to be recorded. Data recorded has been tabulated and used in estuarine mixing diagrams.

Fluorescence

Error range:  0.555-0.501 = 0.054

Average fluorescence in the surface water is 0.372 at 0.23m and increases with depth to 0.527 at 1.22m an increase of 0.054. As the water is very shallow the increased fluorescence at 1.2 meters could be a result of prop wash.
