Purpose:

Water parameters were measured for supplemental environmental information to understand the dynamics of bacterial communities along the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Samples and water parameter information were collected at monthly, weekly, and daily timescales as well as at various spatial extents.

Data Parameters and Units:

Date, Site, MDEQ_Site_number, Latitude, Longitude, Air_temperature (degrees Celsius), pH, Water_temperature (degrees Celsius), Conductivity (S/m), Salinity (ppt), Dissolved Oxygen (% Saturation), Time, Weather_conditions

Methods:

YSI probes were used to measure water parameters before collecting sand/water samples at each site.
