End Date: 2012-06-22
Equipment Used: GPS (wh), HYPACK, Temperature and salinity, Cavity Ring-Down Spectroscopy (CRDS)
Information to be Derived: Samples and chemical analysis;
Summary of Activity and Data Gathered: From June 18-June 22, 25 km+ of surface methane and CO2 data collected in the lower, mid and upper chesapeake Bay. Vertical profiles of the methane and CO2 concentration and d13C also obtained at 5 sample stations using a submersible pump to supply the equilibrator
