The scatter near the end of the deployment resulted in a very low goodness of fit in the regression.
This rate would include any biofouling effects as well as any electronic or calibration drift.

Environmental conditions encountered during the 4 month HIMB deployment on the fringing reef flat off
Coconut Island Test sensor array deployed at 1 m fixed depth, variation in local tidal heights indicate active water
flow around instrument (
