The Arthur Kill is a tidal strait located between Staten Island, New York, and Union and Middlesex Counties, New Jersey, and connects Newark Bay to the north and Raritan Bay to the south. It is a major shipping channel for the Port of New York and New Jersey surrounded by industrial and highly developed land. Transects were collected using a Yellow Springs Instruments (YSI) EXO2 series water-quality sonde with a 5-second data collection interval while the boat was in motion. Vertical profiles of water-quality parameters were collected using a YSI EXO2 series water-quality sonde with 1-second data collection interval. A stationary YSI EXO2 series water-quality sonde collecting 5-minute data at a depth of approximately 1 meter was deployed in the waterway during this time as a point of reference. Data are stored in three zip files: 1) the near-surface continuous transect data, 2) the vertical profile data, and 3) the stationary sonde data.\nIn addition, the continuous transect data can be viewed as an online webmap:\nhttps://ny.water.usgs.gov/maps/arthurkillwaterquality", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "https://doi.org/10.5066/P9OBE13S", "description": "Landing page for access to the data", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "application/http", "title": "Digital Data"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "description": "The metadata original format", "downloadURL": "https://data.usgs.gov/datacatalog/metadata/USGS.65299001d34e44db0e2ed8ef.xml", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "text/xml", "title": "Original Metadata"}], "identifier": "http://datainventory.doi.gov/id/dataset/USGS_65299001d34e44db0e2ed8ef", "keyword": ["Arthur Kill", "Dissolved Oxygen", "Middlesex County", "Near-surface", "New Jersey", "New York", "Newark Bay", "Raritan Bay", "Specific Conductance", "Staten Island", "Surface water quality", "Transect", "Turbidity", "USGS:65299001d34e44db0e2ed8ef", "Union County", "United States", "Vertical Profile", "Water Temperature", "Water quality", "pH"], "modified": "2023-12-11T00:00:00Z", "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "U.S. Geological Survey"}, "spatial": "-74.256542, 40.497919, -74.195381, 40.648119", "theme": ["geospatial"], "title": "Vertical Profiles and Near Surface Water Quality Transects for Dissolved Oxygen Monitoring of the Arthur Kill, New York and New Jersey, September 7th and 8th, 2023"}
