Scientific Purpose/Goals: Collect baseline data for West Florida Shelf carbon flux models.

Vehicle(s):

Start Port/Location: St. Petersburg, FL

End Port/Location: St. Petersburg, FL

Start Date: 2011-06-25

End Date: 2011-07-01

Equipment Used: Conductivity, Temperature and Depth (CTD) Logger/Probe, Rosette, Flow-Through Seawater Analyzer (pH) , Flow-Through Seawater Analyzer (pCO2), GPS , Sonde sensor

Information to be Derived: Sea water dissolved inorganic carbon, alkalinity, CO2, pH, temperature, salinity, chlorophyll, dissolved oxygen, oxygen and carbon stable isotopes.

Summary of Activity and Data Gathered:

Staff: Paul Knorr

Affiliate Staff:

Notes: Additional Equipment: Also using two new devices, the AFT-pH, AFT-CO2, and laptop. These are two flow-thru sea water analyzers that measure pH and pCO2 values every 15 minutes.

Location:

Offshore transect from Panama City to De Soto Canyon, FL and from Mobile Bay, AL to De Soto Canyon. Also transects from De Soto Canyon to St. Petersburg.
