Other ID: none
Status: Completed
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)
Scientific Purpose/Goals: Monitoring and assessment of an autonomous carbonate system deployed 60 miles offshore of Tampa Bay, FL. The Ocean Carbon System (OCS) site will be visited routinely, approximately monthly, for equipment maintenance/service or more frequently should instrumentation troubleshooting be required.
Vehicle(s): Ford F-350 Dually White (GSA)
Start Port/Location: St. Petersburg, Florida
End Port/Location: St. Petersburg, Florida
Start Date: 2019-02-12
End Date: 2019-02-12
Equipment Used: Ocean Carbon System (OCS)
Information to be Derived: Instrument functionality and accuracy.
Summary of Activity and Data Gathered: Ultimately, data obtained from this system will be used in time series measurements of carbonate system parameters including: water temperature (°C), conductivity (siemens), pressure (dbars), salinity, pHT (pH on the total scale), carbon dioxide (ppm), dissolved oxygen (micromol/L), and photosynthetically active radiation (microEinsteins).
