Status: Completed
Organization(s): USGS, St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center
Funding Program(s):
Principal Investigator(s): Cliff Hearn
Affiliate Investigator(s):
Information Specialist(s): Billy Reynolds
Data Type(s): Location-Elevation: Navigation, Sonar: Single Beam, Time Series: Mooring (physical oceanography)
Scientific Purpose/Goals: To provide bathymetry of Frog Creek a freshwater tributary into Tampa Bay that will enhance the Tampa Bay Model Circulation Model construction
Vehicle(s):
Start Port/Location: Frog Creek Landing, Tampa Bay
End Port/Location: Frog Creek Landing, Tampa Bay
