Water levels, conductivity, temperature, and salinities were measured in the Cumberland Sound study area during January 1989 through December 1989. The data were collected as part of a long-term study to assess, through comparisons to earlier data collection programs, if changes to the estuarine processes of the study area have occurred. This report describes the equipment and procedures used in the data collection effort and presents tables and plots of representative data. In July 1978, ownership of the Kings Bay facility was transferred to the Department of the Navy for use as a Naval submarine base for Poseidon class submarines. Between July 1978 and July 1979, approximately 8.6 million cubic yards of material were removed for Poseidon facility expansion. Major channel realignment, widening, and deepening were performed.
