compared to the range captured by the reference measurements of 4.370 to 10.85 mg/L. The
bottom panel presents the time series of the difference between the miniDOT and reference DO for
each matched pair (limited to ±2.0 mg/L; n=109 observations out of a total of 142). The average
and standard deviation of the measurement difference for the deployment was -0.40 ±0.702 mg/L,
with the total range of differences between -1.90 to 0.86 mg/L.
