EcoSystem and Group 1 • What role does the coastal ocean play in estuarine dynamics? • What environmental factors are contributing to DO changes? • Are the observed changes at the two stations being driven by biological or physical process?
DATA • YB1, YB2 (surface, every 15 minutes ):temperature, salinity, sigma-t, dissolved oxygen, in situ fluorescence • SR15 (9 m, inner shelf, hourly): temperature • wind (offshore, hourly): wind stress
Dissolved Oxygen at YB1 and YB2 YB1 (coast)YB2 (river) time
Power spectrum of Dissolved Oxygen 1.0/day 2.0/day 2.9/day 3.8/day 4.7/day YB1 (coast) YB2 (river)
WIND AND OXYGEN wind YB1
WIND AND OXYGEN wind stress 1 day lag wind YB1
Dissolved Oxygen vs. Salinity oxygen YB2 YB1 salinity
BIOLOGICAL PROCESSES • Air-Sea Flux • Biological Oxygen Change (BDO) • Net Ecosystem Metabolism (NEM) • Respiration • Net Ecosystem Production (NEP) • Gross Primary Production (GPP)
AIR-SEA FLUX (+): ocean to air (+): air to ocean YB1 YB2
Biological Oxygen Change YB1 YB2
BDO and DO at YB1 BDO DO
BDO and DO at YB2 BDO DO
Group 1 SUMMARY • What role does the coastal ocean play in estuarine dynamics? • What environmental factors are contributing to DO changes? • Are the observed changes at the two stations being driven by biological or physical process?
