Each map consists of five depth-averaged salinity zones (0-0.5, 0.5-5, 5-15, 15-25, >25 parts per thousand). Precipitation, flow-gage data, and monthly salinity averages were evaluated to determine which months would be used to represent the high, low, and transitional salinity periods. A contour modeling procedure was applied to the data to develop seasonal salinity zones for each estuary. Two salinity seasons, high and low, are displayed here.", "summary": "", "title": "NOS_DynamicFiveZoneSalinityScheme", "tags": [ "salinity", "estuarine salinity", "salinity seasons" ], "type": "Map Service", "typeKeywords": [ "ArcGIS", "ArcGIS Server", "Data", "Map Service", "Service" ], "thumbnail": "thumbnail/thumbnail.png", "url": "", "extent": [ [ -97.7445068363208, 24.8361249652958 ], [ -80.3749166025185, 30.8749990004044 ] ], "minScale": 0, "maxScale": 1.7976931348623157E308, "spatialReference": "WGS_1984_Web_Mercator_Auxiliary_Sphere", "accessInformation": "National Ocean Service, Special Projects Office, NOAA", "licenseInfo": "", "portalUrl": "" }
