P6314 - Field Oceanography Charlie Bishop Susanne Brandstatter Ashley Robar
Details of Study • Ship: Anne S. Pierce • Duration of Cruise: 1.5 days (Oct. 7th – Oct. 8th)
Study Site • Conception Bay • Open Bay (Oct. 7th) • Tickle (Oct. 8th) • 5 fixed stations • 2 ADCP transects • Sonar Survey
Purpose of Project • 3 aspects of oceanography in Conception Bay • Physical • Geological • Biological • Question: How do these 3 areas interconnect within Conception Bay?
Equipment and Example A= Chaetognath, B= Copepod -1, C= Copepod -2, D= Cladoceran, E= Echinoderm Larvae, F= Gastropod Larvae, G= Larvacean, H= Mysid, I= Shrimp Larvae, J= Pteropod, K= Starfish Larvae. Plankton Ring Tow Net
Equipment and Example Bottom Grab Sampler
Equipment and Example Biosonics Echo-Sounder
Equipment and Example Secchi Depth Secchi Disk
Equipment and Example Tides Strong Winds??? Moored Thermistor and ADCP
Equipment and Example Towed ADCP
Equipment and Example Glider
Equipment and Example Sub-Bottom Sonar
Equipment and Example Side-Scan Sonar
Equipment and Example Multibeam Sonar
Projected Data Analysis • Physical • Moored ADCP, Moored vs. Towed ADCP, thermistor, CTD, Biosonics filtering • Geological • Side-scan, Multi-beam, Sub-bottom sonar filtering • Biological • Statistical Analysis among sites, Species Abundance/Dominance, Comparison with Biosonics
