Cruise Inventory Datasets
| Physical oceanography | |
|---|---|
| Optics (eg underwater light levels) | Description: Vertical profiles taken to measure light spectra and light penetration. |
| Surface measurements underway (T,S) | Description: Underway surveying was started using the Undulating Oceanographic Recorder. The surveying was started from approximately off North Killingholme and continued along an axial track following the main navigation channel to seaward. |
| Surface measurements underway (T,S) | Description: Water samples were taken at half hourly intervals from 1m below surface to determine salinity levels and DOC. |
| Contamination | |
| Suspended matter | Description: Underway surveying was started using the Undulating Oceanographic Recorder. The surveying was started from approximately off North Killingholme and continued along an axial track following the main navigation channel to seaward. |
| Suspended matter | Description: Water samples taken at half hourly intervals from 1m below surface to determine particle size distribution. |
| Suspended matter | Description: Along an axial track starting from North Killinghome and following the main navigation channel, water samples were taken at half hourly intervals from 1m below surface. |
| Biology and fisheries | |
| Dissolved organic matter (inc DOC) | Description: Water samples were taken at half hourly intervals from 1m below surface to determine salinity levels and DOC. |
| Phytoplankton pigs (eg chlorophyll, fluorescence) | Description: Underway surveying was started using the Undulating Oceanographic Recorder. The surveying was started from approximately off North Killingholme and continued along an axial track following the main navigation channel to seaward. |
| Phytoplankton pigs (eg chlorophyll, fluorescence) | Description: Along an axial track starting from North Killinghome and following the main navigation channel, water samples were taken at half hourly intervals from 1m below surface. |
