    "descript": "CTD profiles were collected by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center to measure the physical characteristics of Corte Madera tidal creek over the course of a tidal cycle during one of the largest spring tides in both Winter and Summer. Conductivity, temperature, and pressure data were collected, as well as suspended-sediment concentration in the water column Each profile was collected from surface to bed. Profiles were collected on 4 days: August 8 and 9 of 2022 and January 19 and 20 of 2023. Data files are grouped by season (summer or winter). Users are advised to assess data quality carefully.",

Distributions are records of currents, physical properties, or biogeochemical water properties, often based on shipboard surveys or coastal monitoring programs, and maps of currents or water property climatology, which indicate the expected locations of features under present conditions or apply a classification structure like that of CMECS. Assessments are data that provide information about the ecological or economic values, impacts, drivers, connections, or functions of water column features in their present distributions. Predictions are the results of models projecting future changes to currents or other persistent oceanographic features (for example, clines, stratification, connectivity, linkages, and zones of separation) due to climate change, ice-cap melt, and changing freshwater inputs; models predicting the ecological or economic impacts of these changes; and scenario-testing models comparing ecological or economic outcomes of different management actions."
