Table 14. Distribution statistics of water column averages of chlorophyll a, ammonia-N, dissolved oxygen, and temperature at Eagle Ridge site, based on July–August sampling dates, Upper Klamath Lake, Oregon, 1990–2004.
[Water-quality data are biweekly values of chlorophyll a and nutrients, and biweekly profiles of dissolved oxygen collected by the Klamath Tribes at Eagle Ridge in Upper Klamath Lake during July and August 1990–2004. Quartile: Q1, first quartile; Q2, second quartile; Q3, third quartile; Q4, fourth quartile. Abbreviations: mg/L, milligram per liter; ºC, degree Celsius; µg/L, microgram per liter]
