Organization(s): USGS, St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center
Funding Program(s): Tampa Bay Estuary Program - TBEP (GR.23.MN00.TN166.00)
Principal Investigator(s): Kimberly Yates
Affiliate Investigator(s):
Information Specialist(s): Christopher Moore
Data Type(s): Geochemical: Surveys (geochemical), Environmental Data: Dissolved Oxygen, Environmental Data: Temperature, Environmental Data: Pressure, Environmental Data: Conductivity, Environmental Data: CO2, Environmental Data: pH
Scientific Purpose/Goals: Monitoring and assessment of an autonomous carbonate system deployed in Tampa Bay, FL. The Ocean Carbon System (OCS) site will be visited routinely, approximately every 2-3 weeks, for equipment maintenance/service or more frequently should instrumentation troubleshooting be required.
Vehicle(s): Ford F-350 Dually White (GSA)
