Figure 3.25: Salinity Zcusum charts for segments in Biscayne Bay
Dissolved Oxygen
Dissolved oxygen in Biscayne Bay waters (Fig 3.26) displays a rather persistent
pattern characterized by slightly above average concentrations from 1996 to 2001-2002;
followed by a decline to below average values until the end of 2004, when above
average concentrations began to dominate and persisted until 2007. SCI and NCI
partially departed from this general pattern by developing an above average DO
tendency from 1996 to the end of year 2000.
Temperature
Water temperature is characterized by well developed seasonality and two
patterns of variability along the POC (Fig 3.27). For MBS, SCI, NCI, SNB and NNB the
central tendency of temperature remained equal or slightly above average until 2000,
while for CS, SCM, SCO and NCO below average values prevailed. After 2000
temperatures were predominantly below average bay-wide until 2002-2003, when it
shifted to about average levels.
