| CDOM | Color Dissolved Organic Matter | Refers to organic matter in water that absorbs strongly in the ultraviolet (UV) spectrum. This is important because concentrations of CDOM affect submerged aquatic vegetation, coral reefs and other benthic communities. | Ratio Unit: nanometer Precision: 0.001 | ||||||||
| Chlorophyll | Chlorophyll a | Chlorophyll a is the predominant type of chlorophyll found in green plants and algae. Chlorophyll a is a measure of the amount of algae growing in a water body. | Ratio Units: Precision: 0.001 | ||||||||

| Enterococci_conc_CFU100ml | Enterocci Concentrations | Enterocci are important members of gut communities in mammals and birds. They are found in human and animal feces and are used as fecal indicator bacteria. | Ratio Units: colony forming units per 100ml of water Precision: 0.001 EntConc_Codes + show
