Oh ok. When I worked for calcasieu lock we would take salt readings from Calc point all the way to the mermentau river. That was always an enjoyable boat ride.

What kind of meter do you use to check salinity?

Here's a link to the USGS Current Conditions of a site located in the north end of Calcasieu Lake you may find interesting. It's updated daily and shows salinity, temperature and a couple of other things. http://waterdata.usgs.gov/nwis/dv?re...te_no=08017095

i use a ysi 30. 5 ppt is kinda low. i wanna say last year around this time it was around 14 -16 at calcasieu point. and in 2010 it was around 18. right north of hackberry readings were a little higher than that.
