  • $4M - IOOS Program FFO

(Programmatic Language)

  • June 2010- June 2011;

Extension Dec 11

  • Multi-Agency involvement
  • Goals:
  • Less about the models

than the process

  • Process for Transition to

Ops

  • Enable Modeling and

Analysis subsystem

What if you could ask answer any question?

slide-13
SLIDE 13
  • The Chester River Watershed Observatory
  • 1. What happens to water quality when it rains?
  • 2. Is water quality different during Ag activity?
  • 3. Is turbidity correlated to precipitation?
  • 4. Is water quality “driven” by the River Or Bay?
  • 5. Is water quality different near farms?
  • 6. When do fish come and go? Which ones?
  • 7. How do fish behave seasonally?
  • 8. What do fish do when DO is depleted?
  • 9. Tie the Observatory to K-12 curriculum?
