Why was the data set created?

Data from this study were supportive in describing the temporal and spatial variability of freshwater plumes from Kaneohe Stream, Hawaii, USA, following storm events in the Kaneohe Bay watershed.

How was the data set created?

1. From what previous works were the data drawn?
2. How were the data generated, processed, and modified?

   Date: Unknown (process 1 of 1)

   All sensors were calibrated by the manufacturer prior to deployment.
