Daily water temperature values with monthly means Visibility 54. Visibility in coastal nearshore waters depends on the amount of salts, soluble organic material, detritus, living organisms, and inorganic particles in the water. These dissolved and suspended materials change the absorption and attenuation characteristics of the water which vary daily and yearly. 55. Visibility was measured with a Secchi disk and, similar to water temperature, variation was related to onshore and offshore winds. Onshore winds moved warm clear surface water toward shore; whereas, offshore winds brought up colder bottom water with large concentrations of suspended matter. Figure 20 presents the daily and monthly mean surface visibility values for the year. Large variations were common, and visibility less than 1 m was expected in any month. Monthly means are given in Table 8. 45.
