Summary
|
12 April 2010, drive from Falmouth to Delaware, launch boat and test gear; 13
April 2010, collect resistivity (CRP), depth, salinity/temp, and chirp data
around perimeter of Indian River Bay, rough weather in PM, end operations early
in SE corner of bay; 14 April 2010, collect data on long E-W lines, equipment
problems in AM, Holly Michael and students visit at marina around mid-day, PM
resume CRP and salinity/temp/bathy data collection on E-W and some N-S lines,
chirp system not operating; 15 April 2010, collect more data along N-S zigzag
lines (no chirp), also E-W lines in shallow, SE corner of bay, and set of ~12
closely-spaced lines in a dense box off Holts Landing State Park, load boat on
trailer at marina and stow equipment at end of day; 16 April 2010, travel day
back to Falmouth from Delaware

Science Strategy: Water Census;
Data quality problems with bathymetry and salinity/temp on 13 April PM and 14
April AM associated with placement of instruments too close to bow and chirp
towfish; moved astern on 15 April; CRP processed with available and interpolated
data for bathymetry and salinity/temp on 13-14 April; tide stage data downloaded
from USGS gages at Indian River Inlet (Coast Guard Station) and Oak Orchard gage
(#01484595) upstream in Indian River
