Status: Completed
Organization(s): USGS, St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center
Funding Program(s):
Principal Investigator(s): Paul Knorr, Lisa Robbins, Christopher Smith
Affiliate Investigator(s):
Information Specialist(s): Paul Knorr
Data Type(s): Environmental Data: Radon, Geochemical: Experiments (geochemical), Geochemical: Surveys (geochemical), Location-Elevation: Navigation
Scientific Purpose/Goals: Establish baseline levels for pCO2, alkalinity, and pH for coastal waters. Assess radon levels.
Vehicle(s):
Start Port/Location: St. Petersburg, FL
End Port/Location: St. Petersburg, FL
Start Date: 2009-02-24
End Date: 2009-02-28
Equipment Used: LI-COR Sensors, Radon Monitors, Multi-Parameter Inorganic Carbon Analyzer (MICA), Global Positioning System (GPS)
Information to be Derived: Ocean chemistry (alkalinity, pH, Total Organic Carbon, Dissolved Inorganic Carbon, pCO2). Surface water radon.
Summary of Activity and Data Gathered: Approximately 1,800 data points were collected underway over a 1,300-kilometer (km) trackline using the Multiparameter Inorganic Carbon Analyzer (MICA). 8 discrete water samples were also taken at specific localities to corroborate underway data measurements.
