Dissolved Oxygen - Discrete
Scatter plot of monthly average dissolved oxygen
over time. If the time series included ten or more years of discrete
observations, a significant (blue) or non-significant (magenta) trend
line is also shown. Only dissolved oxygen values measured in the field
(circles) are included in the plot.
