Ladams almost 8 years ago We love how you are tracking the changes in water parameters with the tides and depth! Keep up the good work. While SPLASSH is working on how to accept multiple datasets, you might want to have 5 project pages - one for each station and then add your data for each sampling day to the appropriate marker for that specific station. This might organize the data better so that all of the onlookers can follow your findings. IF you need help organizing it, contact me at ladams@kennesaw.edu!

Naturesavannah about 8 years ago Date: 3/10/15 Weather: Partly cloudy, windy, warm. Salinity Station 1: 6ppt, Station 2: 3ppt, Station 3: 1 ppt, Station 4: 0ppt, Station 5: 0ppt. The salinity levels changed because of the tides.

Naturesavannah about 8 years ago Date: 3/12/15 Weather: Sunny, Warm, Very Windy. Salinity Station 1: 10ppt, Station 2: 8ppt, Station 3: 2ppt, Station 4: 0ppt, Station 5: 0ppt. The data at stations 3 and 4 on this day are different because of the difference in tide cycles.
