Data Type(s):
Scientific Purpose/Goals: Field reconnaissance to select study sites for year long time series field observations. Water sample collection to measure CDOM and fDOM relationship.
Vehicle(s):
Start Port/Location: Falmouth, MA
End Port/Location: Falmouth, MA
Start Date: 2014-07-14
End Date: 2014-07-19
Equipment Used:
Information to be Derived: WHOI/USGS Summer Fellow collecting water samples for summer research project. Sediment grain size analysis samples.
Summary of Activity and Data Gathered: Conducted field reconnaissance for site selection for upcoming field study which will involve deployed instrument time series data for a planned year long study at Barnegat Bay, NJ and Chincoteague Bay VA/MD. Water samples were collected and processed for WHOI/USGS summer research fellow Will Oestreich's project focusing on relationship of light attenuation and CDOM sources. All goals met for this field activity.
