Measurements | |
Physical oceanography | |
Surface measurements underway (T,S) | Description: Water samples were taken at half hourly intervals from 1m below surface to determine salinity levels. |
Transparency (eg transmissometer) | Description: Surface measurements and sampling along an axial track from South Killinghome along the main navigation channel. Water samples were taken at half hourly intervals from 1m below surface. |
Contamination | |
Suspended matter | Description: Water samples were taken at half hourly intervals from 1m below surface to determine particle size distribution. |
Suspended matter | Description: Surface measurements and sampling along an axial track from South Killinghome along the main navigation channel. Water samples were taken at half hourly intervals from 1m below surface. |
Biology and fisheries | |
