Abstract
The raw data are collected from the websites of EPD (Environmental Protection Department, Hong Kong) and HKO (Hong Kong Observatory). Marine water quality data is provided by EPD and climatological data is provided by HKO. The data is interpolated by SAS “proc expand” and aligned to the beginning of each month.
The raw data used to produce this dataset are extracted from the following URL.
1) Hong Kong Environmental Protection Department: Marine Water Quality Data http://epic.epd.gov.hk/EPICRIVER/marine/?lang=en
2) Hong Kong Observatory http://www.hko.gov.hk/en/cis/climat.htm

The marine water samples are taken from 76 stations which are located in 10 water control zones. The water quality can be measured in 3 different water depths, namely ‘Surface’, Middle’ and Bottom’.
The columns of the water quality data are named in the format of “Zone + Station + Water depth +Water quality Parameter”. For example, the column “Zone1_TM2_Bot_VSSolids” contains the Volatile Suspended Solids data (mg/L) of the bottom-level water at the TM2 station, which is located in Zone 1.
The list of water quality parameters and Climatological parameters are tabulated below.
