Project: Groundwater sources of "new" N for benthic microalgal production in the South Atlantic bight (SAB BMA)


Abstract

Vertical profiles of depth, conductivity, salinity, temperature, pH, and dissolved O2 were measured on selected dates from 7 June 2018 to 10 August 2021 in nearshore shelf waters off Charleston, SC. The survey area was located in the region of 32° 42’ N, 79° 50’ W and 32° 51’ N, 79° 09’W. Profiles were obtained using a YSI 6820 sonde deployed by hand. These data were used to map the physical structure of the water column and assess inputs of groundwater effects on phytoplankton and benthic micro...

Methods & Sampling 

Hand deployment of YSI 6810 sonde with measurements of water quality parameters at 1 m depth intervals to a maximum depth of 15 m.

Samples were taken from R/V Trinity, owned by a private charter company called Charleston SCUBA. This company is no longer in operation.
