Equipment Used: GPS (wh), Sensors - other mooring, Current, Pressure, Temperature and salinity, Turbidity, Cavity Ring-Down Spectroscopy (CRDS), RAD7 radon detection instrument, Sensor - CO2, O2 sensor, ADCP

Information to be Derived: Time series data;Samples and chemical analysis;Suspended sediment concentrations;Laboratory sensor data;

Summary of Activity and Data Gathered: Continuous measurements of greenhouse gas fluxes, and discrete water sample collection over a complete tidal cycle in 3 estuarine creeks once per month. Time series data from deployed water quality sensors and ADCP. Total of 9 sampling events over this period.
