摘要
During summer 1987, short term variability of dissolved oxygen was both large and spatially heterogeneous. Time scales of variability ranged from the longest period fluctuations resolved (several days) to the sampling interval (several minutes). Oscillations of the pycnocline in the mainstem of the Bay resulted in advection of saline, hypoxic water from below the pycnocline onto the flanks of the Bay and into the lower reaches of the Choptank River, an adjoining tributary estuary. Dissolved oxygen also responded to the daily cycle of insolation, but lagged insolation by at least 6 h. -from Authors
