Salinity Line Plots

Salinity can be viewed through time at select locations to understand the seasonal and weekly changes in  salinity in the Chesapeake Bay. Overlaying the modeled salinity on top of long-term averages from observed data shows how the forecasted salinity compares to the historical average. Grey lines show one standard deviation above and below the average.
