Field Activity 1999-008-FA

Identifier

1999-008-FA

Alternate names

MH30-99

Purpose

Exchange moorings at two locations and collect sediment cores at two long-term monitoring stations. We will also make measurements of oxygen profiles at the sediment stations.

Location

Massachusetts Bay, Massachusetts, United States, North America, North Atlantic,

Summary

Divers used to recover tripod at Boston Buoy B. Moorings recovered: 4 (#551, 552 and 553, all deployed FA 99007 MARCUS HANNA Feb. 10-11, 1999; #568 deployed FA 99021 CHRISTOPHER ANDREW Mar. 26, 1999). Moorings deployed: 4 (#569, 570, 571 and 572 all recovered FA 99009 MARCUS HANNA Sep. 21-22, 1999).

Info derived

Time series data; Samples and chemical analysis; Suspended sediment concentrations;

Comments

Divers will be needed only if the moorings fail to surface. Original Submitted By field contained: Mike Bothner; edited by J. Cote.
