Table 1 Pearson’s correlation coefficient (r) between turbidity and the rest of variables after LOESS transformation. PP, precipitation; RWS45 and RWS225, NE (45º) and SW (225º) wind speeds that generated resuspension; NRWS45, NRWS90, NRWS180, NRWS225 and NRWS270, NE (45º), E (90º), S (180º), SW (225º) and W (270º) wind speeds that did not generate resuspension; P, phosphate content; N, nitrate content; WI, weekly irradiation; MaxTide, maximum daily tidal amplitude. Sample size = 609.
