| Notes | Major coastal upwelling events bring water that is low in oxygen and high in nutrients closer to the surface, at times killing marine animals. Upwelled waters can and do enter estuaries. Is there a way to distinguish poor water quality in estuaries that results from upwelling events from poor water quality derived from other causes? The authors introduce an example of logistic regression models “to predict the probability of exceedance of a water quality threshold…” Yaquina Bay is used as the example, and remaining issues are discussed. |
