    "descript": "Hydrodynamic and sediment transport time-series data, including water depth, velocity, turbidity, conductivity, and temperature, were collected by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center in South San Francisco Bay and in the Whale's Tail South marsh in Eden Landing Ecological Reserve in Alameda County, CA in 2021 and 2022. Data files are grouped by data type and season (summer and winter). At Bay sites, instruments were deployed on small quadpods. In the tidal creek, instruments were attached to grates mounted directly on the sediment bed. Marsh sites consisted of one transect of six stations perpendicular to the bay-marsh interface, and a second transect perpendicular to a tidal creek. Note that marsh stations were positioned fairly high in the tidal frame (close to the mean higher-high water elevation), so they were inundated less than 10 percent of the time. Instruments at the Bay stations were inundated most of the time but were subaerial at low tide. Data are only valid when the instruments were submerged. Users are advised to assess data quality carefully, and to check metadata for instrument information, as platform deployment times and data-processing methods varied.",

            "scope": "Includes measures of the ranges and distributions of the chemical, physical, and biological constituents of waters, including temperature, salinity, pH, dissolved oxygen, turbidity, total suspended solids, chlorophyll, nutrients, bacteria, and toxicants. Distributions are recorded observations as a function of time and place, including measures of one or more parameters; maps that use observations and consider hydrodynamic factors to estimate present distributions or ranges; or categorizations of areas using classification systems such as CMECS to identify ranges. Assessments evaluate the current ecological, human health, or economic effects, values, or harms linked to water-quality parameters as well as evaluating effects on ecosystems, biotic distributions, and ecological processes. In the case of temperature, this includes ecological, industrial, and human service values but does not include values related to energy production, which are covered in the Energy Resources category. Predictions are the results of models or projections of future distributions, values, and human health or ecological impacts of water-quality parameters; Predictions include predicted effects due to changes in climate, industrial or residential needs, land use, or other natural and human forces and include scenario-based models of the impacts of changes to parameters on ecological, human health, or economic values under different management strategies or other human alterations."
