Continuous Monitoring Station Information

Below is a table of all of our Continuous Monitoring stations ever sampled, with coordinates, the range of dates each site has been sampled, and information on where the sampling meter (sonde) is located in the water column. Current year stations are highlighted in dark green text.

*DATAHUB DATA LINK NOTE: The Station ID hyperlinks will direct you to a comma-delimited view of our Eyes on the Bay data stored on the Chesapeake Bay Program's DataHub (opens in a new tab), for the available date range for each station, where you can then choose to save the data as a .txt file. These data are the biweekly 'Calibration Data (opens in a new tab)' measured on-site at each Continuous Monitoring station. The 15min increment continuous measurements can be found at the link below.
