Table 2. Field data used to construct cross sections of chloride concentration and calibrate cross-sectional models
[Distances along transect are relative to the shoreline; positive distances are offshore, negative distances are inland. Average chloride concentrations and average salinity values were calculated with monthly data collected from March 1998 to February 1999]
