Atlas of oceanographic conditions in the Strait of Georgia (2015–2019) based on the Pacific Salmon Foundation’s citizen science dataset / Rich Pawlowicz, Trent Suzuki, Rhys Chappell, Andrew Ta, Svetlana...: Fs97-6/3374E-PDF
"Although the general characteristics of conditions in the Strait of Georgia, Canada, are reasonably well known, the precise details of how and when oceanographic conditions vary from place to place within the entire strait have been largely undescribed, because of the difficulties and cost of sustained data acquisition in the ocean. The Pacific Salmon Foundation (PSF) Citizen Science program addressed this lack of data during the Salish Sea Marine Survival Program by taking advantage of the time, interest, and experience of local residents around the strait to gather a comprehensive set of data about oceanographic conditions over a multi-year timescale. As many as ten patrols have sampled 80 stations about 20 times a year for a variety of parameters since 2015. This atlas uses the first five years of this dataset to characterize conditions in the strait and its various subregions, from the spring through the fall, over the years 2015-2019. Average conditions, as well as regional and interannual variations in temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, chlorophyll biomass, nutrients, and the presence and absence of a variety of harmful algae, are discussed"--Abstract, page vii.
