Alternate names Tampa Bay water isotopes and chemistry
Purpose Water sampling for carbonate and isotope chemistry, establishing relationships between salinity, d13C DIC, and DIC concentration.
Location Upper to Lower Tampa Bay
Summary Collect 19-22 samples in triplicate mostly from 1 m below surface, but n=3 from bottom water.
Info derived d18O, dD, total alkalinity, DIC concentration, d13C DIC

Platform
22-ft Twin Vee (R/V G. Hill)
This boat has a carrying capacity of up to 1500 pounds and up to 7 people and a shallow draft (9 inches empty). This boat's cat hull design results in a smoother ride in choppy water, at the expense of a slightly deeper draft. This boat is powered by two Yamaha 70hp motors.
