Sharp from February 2007 to October 2008. Objectives of this cruise were to sample the estuarine turbidity maximum (ETM) region of the Chesapeake Bay with a suite of in situ sensors (conductivity, temperature, depth, fluorometer, optical backscatter sensor, laser in-situ scattering and transmissometry device (LISST 100C), and Tracor acoustic profiling system (TAPS)), Niskin bottles, MOCNESS zooplankton nets, and a digital imaging particle settling tube with in-situ capture (DIPSTIC). The ETM in this system is most prominent in deeper waters of the shipping channel near the freshwater/saltwater interface. Our sampling strategy included 1) axial surveys of the region with CTD casts and Niskin bottles conducted at 11 stations, 2) axial surveys to sample zooplankton with MOCNESS net tows, and 3) time course sampling with Niskin bottles and DIPSTIC at three anchor stations. This dataset is available to the public for a wide variety of uses including scientific research and analysis. completed historicalArchive NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information ncei.info@noaa.gov https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/contact HTTPS NCEI Contact Information Information for contacts at NCEI. information pointOfContact asNeeded https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/access/metadata/landing-page/bin/gfx?id=gov.noaa.nodc:0062884 Preview graphic PNG 0062884 NCEI ACCESSION NUMBER 2010-03-30 publication Attenuation/Transmission BEAM ATTENUATION COEFFICIENT DISSOLVED OXYGEN FLUORESCENCE HYDROSTATIC PRESSURE OPTICAL BACKSCATTER OPTICAL PROPERTIES OXYGEN OXYGEN - PERCENT SATURATION SALINITY TRANSMISSIVITY turbidity WATER TEMPERATURE ZOOPLANKTON BIOMASS ZOOPLANKTON IDENTITIES theme NODC DATA TYPES THESAURUS acoustic sensor bottle CTD Multiple Opening/Closing Net and Environmental Sensing System (MOCNESS) oxygen sensor transmissometer turbidity sensor instrument NODC INSTRUMENT TYPES THESAURUS biological optical physical phytoplankton abundance tows - plankton tows theme NODC OBSERVATION TYPES THESAURUS R/V Hugh R.

NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information custodian acoustic sensor acoustic sensor generic instrument type for sensing sound in the water column Use acoustic sensor for a variety of types of observations, including acoustic tomography, whale and other marine mammal sound detection, etc. Do not use acoustic sensor for instrument type when the thing being measured is distance to seafloor: use echo sounder or sidescan sonar as appropriate. bottle bottle any type of water bottle sampling device Generic name for water collection device; usually used to determine temperature, salinity and provide water aliquots for measurement of a wide range of parameters; often referred to by a specific type of water sampling bottle, such as a Nansen or Niskin bottle. CTD CTD Conductivity-Temperature-Depth probe Multiple Opening/Closing Net and Environmental Sensing System (MOCNESS) Multiple Opening/Closing Net and Environmental Sensing System (MOCNESS) MOCNESS is a much-improved, high-tech version of the humble sampling net. The letters in MOCNESS refer to the specific improvements: it's a Multiple Opening and Closing Net, with an Environmental Sensing System. As MOCNESS tows behind a research ship, each net can be opened and shut independently so that it samples a discrete patch of water. The researcher chooses exactly when by using the environmental sensing system. This is an array of sensors mounted on the instrument frame that relays water conditions up to the ship in real time. The data also help researchers match what they find in their sample to the physical properties of the seawater. oxygen sensor oxygen sensor Any instrument that measures oxygen content in a compound. transmissometer transmissometer transmissometer Instrument used to measure transmissivity in NODC File Alias F022. turbidity sensor turbidity sensor Measures the turbidity of water Turbidity sensors measure the amount of light that is scattered by suspended solids in a liquid, such as water. When the concentration of total suspended solids (TSS) and total dissolved solids (TDS) in a liquid increase, the turbidity also increases. R/V Hugh R.
