Definition
- The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)Northeast Monitoring Program completed its second water columnmonitoring survey in the Middle Atlantic Bight for 1984. The cruisewas conducted during the week of June 2-9, 1984 aboard the R/V CAPEHENLOPEN of the University of Delaware. Seventy six stations wereoccupied; the station locations are shown in Figure 1. Stagingoccurred at the University of Delaware, College of Marine Studies,Lewes, Delaware. The cruise was conducted by the National OceanService (NOS) Office of Oceanography and Marine Assessment, OceanAssessments Division. Chemical analyses were performed by personnelfrom the Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL). OBJECTIVES: The objectives of the cruise were (1) to monitor the annual cycleof pycnocline development and associated reductions of dissolved oxygenlevels in bottom waters of the New York Bight; (2) to take ancillaryphysical and chemical data to aid in understanding processes which maycontribute to pollution resulting from nutrient loading; (3) to collectsurface samples for phytoplankton identification and distributionstudies; (4) to collect sediment samples from selected stations forC:H:N ratios, chlorophyll a, diatom resting spores, and N14/N15 ratios;(5) to correlate satellite-imagery with sea surface temperature; (6) tocollect and transmit shipboard XBT and weather data in real-time viaGOES satellite; and (7) to obtain surface mapping of chlorophyll overthe Middle-Atlantic Bight for correlation with satellite imagery.
