Oceanographic Observations, Hudson Shelf Valley, U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 02-217

Hydrographic Data


Hydrographic observations were collected on the deployment and recovery cruises for the moored array.

RV Oceanus
(December 5-7, 1999)

RV Endeavor
(April 15, 2000)

RV Oceanus

Map of Oceanus cruise cast locations.

Map showing location of CTD casts on RV Oceanus cruise, December 5-7, 1999.

Suspended sediment samples

Plot of concentration of suspended material (from filtered water samples) vs. OBS voltage. See table for concentrations and OBS values.

Plot of concentrations of suspended material (from the filtered water samples) vs. beam attenuation (computed from transmission). The linear regression is fit through all data points and for points 5 mab or less. See table for concentrations and beam attenuation values.
