Field Activity 2017-601-FA

Identifier 2017-601-FA
Also known as Nisqually SLOB deploy
Purpose Measure in situ turbidity and light attenuation for one month in winter on the delta front.
Location Nisqually River Delta
Summary field_notes, gps, matlab, photos, sensor_data added to FAD 2/28/2017 Two bottom-mounted instrument stands were deployed, each with turbidity and light sensors; thirteen bottom sediment grabs were collected; six water samples were collected to measure total suspended solids.
Info derived Time series of turbidity, pressure, temperature, light, and light attenuation; sediment grain size distribution and organic carbon content.
Comments Platform will be the Nisqually Tribal research boat. Environmental Data (Temperature/Turbidity/Depth) will be recorded with Aqualoggers S/N 24-006 and 24-007. Environmental Data (Light) will be recorded with Dataflow Odyssey sensors S/N 7416, 7417, 7418, 7419. Environmental sensors will be recovered the week of February 20, 2017.
