2010 Central Bight Water Quality '08

Automated Shore Stations

Time series temperature, salinity, chlorophyll, turbidity at regular intervals in the nearshore coastal ocean.

Harmful Algae & Red Tides

The goals of this program are to collect comparable data at five regional stations, provide timely updates on Harmful Algal Bloom events.

Meteorological Observations

Meteorological Assimilation data Ingest System (MADIS) visualized in google maps with observations of sea surface temperature, air temperature, wind speed and direction, atmospheric pressure, relative humidity, and precipitation rate

Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS)

Satellite data with sea surface temperature (SST), chlorophyll, Normalized Water-Leaving Radiance at 551mm

Regional Ocean Modeling System (ROMS)

JPL ROMS output visualized in time and space for water temperature, salinity, sea surface height, and ocean currents

Surface Current Mapping

HF Radar derived surface currents throughout the Bight.

Wave Conditions
