Monthly Salinity Data For The York River Plotted By River Mile By Month, Frank J. Wojcik
Monthly Salinity Data For The York River Plotted By River Mile By Month, Frank J. Wojcik
Reports
This report presents graphs on the mean salinities yearly by five mile intervals upriver from the mouth of the York River, and these are overlaid with 25-year average data for the same month, along with the 95% confidence intervals.

Reports
More sediment, nutrients and pollutants are discharged into an estuary during a few days of flood inflow than during many months or years of average inflow (Meade, 1972; Schubel, 1977), but few observations document the sedimentary response of an estuary to high freshwater inflow. Such inflows are usually unexpected and estuarine water charact~ristics change too rapidly to permit systematic measurements. Moreover, the expenditure of effort and number of sampling vessels required on short notice is beyond the resources of a single research group or institute. Yet, freshwater inflow observations are a key to improving water quality; especially to ameliorate the …
