Funding to maintain the continuous water-quality monitor at this site ended on December 31, 2007.

Model Form #1

log₁₀(SS) = - 0.11 + 1.165 log₁₀(TURB)

where:

Number of measurements:	24
Mean squared error:	0.01461681
Multiple R²:	0.98
Bias correction (smearing) factor:	1.03

Variable	Value	Standard error
Intercept	-0.11	0.0858
log₁₀(TURB)	1.165	0.0382

	Intercept	log₁₀(TURB)
Intercept	1	-0.9577
log₁₀(TURB)	-0.9577	1

almost, but doesn't quite perfectly match (in sig figs) the cited model, which is: logSSC = 1.16log(Turb, YSI 6136)-0.111
