Time series measurements Nathan Hawley
Objectives: Provide temperature and current velocity data for hydrodynamic model Quantify resuspension during the spring Provide size data of suspended particles
Methods • 1. Deploy acoustic Doppler velocity profilers and strings of temperature sensors at selected locations in the outer bay throughout the year, and in the inner bay between April and October • 2. Deploy tripods with transmissometers and pressure sensors in the inner bay during the spring • 3. Make observations with a LISST sensor to measure particle size of suspended sediment • 4. CTD casts
Deployments Winter 2008-2009: currents and temps at stations 1-5, waves at station 2 2009: currents and temps at all 6 stations, waves at stations 2,4,5, and 6, attenuation at stations 4 and 6, LISST data at station 4 Winter 2009-2010: currents and temps at stations 1-3, and 5, waves at 2 and 5 2010: currents and temps at all stations, waves at 2 and 4-6, attenuations at 4 and 6
Status of data 2008-2009 and 2009 temperatures have been quality controlled and archived 2008-2009 and 2009 currents have been provided to Dima but not quality controlled All other data has been downloaded but not quality controlled
Yet to do: Do quality control and archive the data Attempt to retrieve the missing moorings Look for hypoxia? Analyze the data???
