Summary of Field Work: |
Operational objectives are to: (1) collect underway data using TSG, SCS, and ADCP; (2) complete CTD and bongo operations at stations throughout area, (3) collect marine mammal and seabird observations, (4) collect data and imagery of phytoplankton and ciliates using an Imaging FlowCytobot unit which will be plumbed into the Scientific Seawater System, (5) collect plankton samples with vertical plankton ring net tows to compare with bongo tows, and (6) collect radiometry measurements for satellite validation.
The survey consists of 155 random-stratified and fixed Oceanography stations in the Middle Atlantic Bight, Southern New England, Georges Bank and the Gulf of Maine. These stations are randomly distributed at varying distances, and as such there is no fixed expectation of number to be covered each day. Rather, the progress of the survey will depend on transit time, sea state, and water depth of the stations, with deeper stations requiring more time to complete operations. |
