I have the good/bad parameters of buoy water condition values Mike posted on here months ago (salinity, DO and chlorophyll), but nothing on turbidity data. What are good/bad parameters of buoy turbidity values? Anyone?

In short...higher the value, dirtier the water.
Oh I figured that but was wondering what value equates to somewhat dirty, dirty and really dirty. I will try the buoy folks.
I can't extract the picture in the pdf but here is the link to give you a rough idea. Pg 3... http://www.virginia.edu/blandy/bland..._Myre_Shaw.pdf

Reason I did not comment on turbidity in previous posts on buoy data is it doesn't mean squat on tidal water rivers. The sample is taken at the base of the buoy during various stages of tides. It does not accurately represent the river in that area so I don't consider it.
Thanks Mike. Always informative. Must be the engineer genes.
