Water temperature, irradiances, chlorophyll a, and other data from Onslow Bay and Chipman in Onslow Bay and Pamlico Sound from 1997-05-05 to 1997-05-08 (NCEI Accession 9800179)

Published by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Catalog Last Checked: August 03, 2026 at 08:00 AM | Dataset Last Updated: May 11, 2026 at 12:00 AM
Scientists from the Southeast Fisheries Science Center at NOAA/National Marine Fisheries Service undertook two one-day cruises out of Beaufort, North Carolina. Five stations were occupied on May 5, 1997 in Onslow Bay and four stations were occupied on May 8, 1997 in Pamlico Sound respectively. In-situ measurements of temperature, spectral downwelling irradiance, and spectral upwelling radiance were made along with above surface spectral downwelling irradiance. Surface chlorophyll a concentration, phytoplankton pigment, and total suspended sediments were also measured.
