• Abstract:
  The Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) monitored the surface waters in and around the Salmon River Estuary on the Pacific coast of Oregon for approximately ten years. Two ODOT highways are associated with this estuary. Oregon State Route 18 runs along a portion of the southern margin of the estuary while U.S. Route 101 runs directly across the estuary. Water level, conductivity, temperature, and dissolved oxygen measurements were collected at 10-minute intervals from 20 stations for varying periods from 2011 until 2021. Numerous researchers have been monitoring the flora and fauna in the estuary for decades. Comparatively little longitudinal data regarding the hydrology and water in and around the estuary has been published. This report documents the water data ODOT collected from 2011 through 2021. This report describes the data to make them usable by researchers from diverse disciples. It is hoped that many future publications will interpret these data.
