Field Activity 2010-079-FA

Identifier 2010-079-FA
Purpose Repeat CRP survey of the lines covered in 2010-006-FA using similar equipment and personnel.
Location Indian River Bay, Delaware, United States, North America, North Atlantic;
Summary 4 Oct 2010 (Monday): Bratton and Bergeron drove from Woods Hole to Delaware, launched boat, and set up gear--too windy to survey. 5 Oct 2010: began surveying but CRP equipment problems prevented collection of any good data, returned to marina to troubleshoot and ended early with no progress. 6 Oct 2010: Joel Banaszak arrived with backup CRP gear from Univ. of Toledo; completed approximately 9 hrs of surveying (10 lines E-W and N-S). 7 Oct 2010: completed approx. 7 hrs of surveying of bay perimeter and tight grid at Holts Landing; bad weather and equipment trouble ended surveying early; most CRP data collected was corrupt upon downloading; demobilized gear and pulled boat out of the water on trailer. 8 Oct 2010: drove back to Woods Hole. After processing, most CRP data collected appeared to be of low quality or unusable; navigation, bathymetry, and water quality data were all good. Planned repeat of survey is for September or October of 2011.
Comments Additional related groundwater sampling was performed at Holts Landing by Kevin Kroeger from USGS-Woods Hole and Univ. of Delaware students.
