deviation (3.8 NTU) occurred in MBS, followed by SNB (22.4 and 1.4 NTU respectively).
In general lower turbidity occurs from May to August (Fig 3.9) during the rainy season.
CS and MBS display higher turbidity and dispersion from September to December.
Seasonal variability of turbidity follows diverse patterns (Fig 3.9) although in NCI, NCO,
SCO and CS higher values and higher variance occur during the dry season. MBS,
NNB and SNB have an apparent bimodal pattern peaking in October-November and
March. SCI and SCM display higher variance and values in September-October. Finally,
there is a consistent high variability in October-December across the bay, and in
general, turbidity does not seem to be related to canal input.

Nitrite (NO2)
Average nitrite concentrations are very low in BB and close to analytical
detection limits. Hence, it’s difficult to assess a clear cut differentiation among
segments. In very general terms the highest values occur in the southern portion of the
bay (Fig 3.10), especially in SCI (max 0.006 mg/l) followed by CS (0.003 mg/l). Stations
in the northern zones, most affected by runoff from the City of Miami, display low levels
of NO2 (0.002 mg/l). Differences between north and south are also statistically
