Abstract:

In the present work, we analyzed the spatial and temporal distribution of dissolved oxygen (DO) and the relationships between DO and water quality parameters of coastal waters in the eastern Shenzhen area. The data were collected from nine automated monitoring buoy platforms from 2012 to 2016. The results showed the ranges of DO in Daya Bay and Mirs Bay were from 2.15 to 14.86 mg·L-1 and from 1.43 to 15.61 mg·L-1, respectively. The mean DO in Daya Bay and Mirs Bay were 7.31 and 7.13 mg·L-1, respectively. Analysis showed the DO during daytime was higher than in nighttime, and the DO was higher during winter than in the other seasons. For comparison between locations, the DO in Daya Bay was higher than Mirs Bay in fall and summer but showed no difference in spring and winter. Pearson’s correlation analysis revealed the DO exhibited seasonally dependent linear relationships with temperature, salinity, turbidity, and chlorophyll-a concentration, respectively.
