| Title: |
Biophysical observations aboard Alaska marine highway system ferry TUSTUMENA, September 2004 through November 2008 (NODC Accession 0070122) |
| Abstract: |
An oceanographic measurement system aboard the Alaskan ferry Tustumena operated for four years in the Alaska Coastal Current with funding from the Exxon Valdez Oil Spill Trustee Council, the North Pacific Research Board and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Sampling water from the ships sea chest at 4 m, the underway system measured: (1) temperature and salinity basic physical variables, (2) nitrate - an essential phytoplankton nutrient, (3) chlorophyll fluorescence an indicator of phytoplankton concentration, (4) colored dissolved organic matter (CDOM) fluorescence an indicator of terrestrial runoff, and (5) optical beam transmittance an indicator of suspended sediment. |
