  1. GEO-CAPE Chesapeake Bay Field Campaign Summer 2011

  2. 1. Short-term Dynamics (PRIMARY OBJECTIVE) o Deconvolve spatial gradients with diurnal variability  Maintain station location throughout the day to understand causes of diurnal variability (tides, in situ production, river discharge, etc.) o Track water masses to resolve diurnal variability  Apply subsurface probe with tracking device o Transects to examine spatial gradients  latitudinal main-stem transect  meridional main-stem transect  near-shore to bay center transect 2. Focus on carbon sources and fluxes 3. Improve nLw retrievals in UV-NIR 4. Algorithm development for coastal ocean products 5. Air-sea exchange

  3. March 2011 Chesapeake Bay runoff event

  4. March 17, 2011: By the 17th, a finger of the plume can be seen in the true color image and matched well in the TSM image extending all the way down to the mouth of the Patuxent River. This is the greatest extent of the observable plume to the south. Retrieved 10 usable images during this event

  5. Instantaneous total TSM loading of 695795 metric tons
