|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Purpose | Deploy instruments to collect time series data to make evaluations of sediment transport, water quality, geomorphic change, circulation, and wetland stability. This will support development of models of storm impacts on estuarine health, vulnerability of adjacent communities, and sustainability of restored and natural wetlands. | ||||||||
| Location | Chincoteague Bay, Virginia, United States; Chincoteague Bay, Maryland, United States | ||||||||
| Summary | Deployed moorings 1018 thru 1031. | ||||||||
| Info derived | Currents, waves, water level, water temperature, salinity, turbidity, Chla-fluoroscence, fDom, pH, bed altitude change, suspended sediment concentration. | ||||||||
