Alternate Leg ID: W17-95

Area of Operations: Massachusetts Bay, Massachusetts, United States, North America, North Atlantic

Dates: February 14, 1995 to February 15, 1995

Chief scientist: Mike Bothner

Objectives: The objective of the program is to conduct long-term monitoring of currents, sediment transport, and physical/chemical characteristics of sediments in western Massachusetts Bay. This cruise will be the 17th in a program jointly funded by the USGS and the Massachusetts Water Resources Authority. The U.S. Coast Guard is generously providing ship time and at-sea support. Time-series sediment traps and a remotely operated suspended matter sampler will be deployed on the subsurface mooring.

Type of Activity: Sampling
Mooring work

Information to be derived: Time series data
Samples and Chemical Analysis

Summary: Moorings recovered: 2 (#445 and 446 deployed FA 94015 WHITE HEATH Oct. 4-5, 1994). Moorings deployed: 3 (#450, 451 and 452, all recovered FA 95032 WHITE HEATH Jun. 13-14, 1995).
