Other ID: none
Status: Completed
Organization(s): USGS, Woods Hole Coastal and Marine Science Center
Funding Program(s): Hurricane Sandy - Estuarine Response to Storm Forcing (AE03FKD)
Principal Investigator(s): Neil Kamal Ganju
Affiliate Investigator(s):
Information Specialist(s): Steven Suttles
Data Type(s): Location-Elevation: Navigation, Time Series: Mooring (physical oceanography)
Scientific Purpose/Goals: Deploy instruments to collect time series data to support evaluations of sediment transport and wetland stability, which will support development of models of storm impacts on estuarine health, vulnerability of adjacent communities, and sustainability of restored and natural wetlands.
Vehicle(s):
Start Port/Location: Tuckerton, NJ
End Port/Location: Tuckerton, NJ
Start Date: 2014-08-11
End Date: 2015-01-06
Equipment Used: Bottom platform, Current, Pressure, Turbidity, GPS - Handheld
Information to be Derived: Currents, turbidity, water level, water temperature, suspended sediment concentration.
Summary of Activity and Data Gathered: Deployed bottom landing current meters and pole mounted turbidity and temperature loggers. Time series data will be downloaded during future field activities, but all time series data will be associated with this FA.
