2019 Summer Hypoxia Survey of Alabama Shelf CTD Data (2019-06-04 to 2019-08-02) (NCEI Accession 0206155)

Description

Along the Fisheries Oceanography in Coastal Alabama (FOCAL) Transect on the Alabama shelf, a CTD survey was conducted using Seabird SBE 25 Sealogger CTD between 06/04/2019 and 08/02/2019. Data collected measured depth (m), salinity (PSU), temperature (ITS-90, deg C), oxygen (% Saturation), oxygen (mg/L), pH (pH), specific conductance (µS/cm), beam attenuation (1/m), beam transmission (%), density (kg/m3), conductivity (µS/cm), PAR (µmol m-1 s-1), fluorescence (mg/m3), and fluorescence (mg/m3). Data was collected on 2019-06-04, 2019-06-28, 2019-07-02, 2019-07-05, 2019-07-09, 2019-07-16, 2019-07-19, 2019-07-30, and 2019-08-02 during the summer of 2019.

Purpose

The objective of this ongoing research is to identify the influence of fluvial water and its suspended particulate matter, freshwater influx and nutrient load on coastal regions including the ecosystem and its susceptibility to hypoxia and low saline events. This particular study aims to understand the nature of buoyant freshwater plumes in shallow micro-tidal environments.
