(5)  DESCRIPTION OF DATA FILE:  Dissolved organic carbon concentrations 
for the Satilla River at several sites during LMER 3.

(6)  KEYWORDS: Satilla, dissolved organic carbon, humic acid fraction, non-humic acid fraction, salinity, LMER 3.

(7)  RESEARCH LOCATION:  All locations indicate distance upstream from 
beach head.

(8)  EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN AND METHODS:  Water samples were filtered 
through GF-F filters in glass filtration units and stored at 4 degrees C 
until processing.  Immediately before analysis, samples were acidified 
to pH 3.5 with 100% phosphoric acid, bubbled with CO2-free air for 2 
minutes.  Samples were then injected into a Shimadzu TOC 5000 carbon 
analyzer standardized with potassium biphthalate.
