1 Mobile Bay Plume Remote Sensing NASA MRC RPC 14 April 2008 Skylab Image courtesy of NASA

2 Purposes: Provide ground truth sediment and salinity data from the Mobile Bay plume for testing of algorithms for remote sensing Create leveraging cross-connections between NASA projects & products and Northern Gulf Institute modeling and management initiatives Participants: McAnally & Martin, MSU Civil & Environmental Engineering Du & Topsakal, MSU Electrical & Computer Engineering Ellis, NASA Stennis Space Center Dardeau & Linn, Dauphin Island Sea Lab

3 Approach: Multi-agency workshop designed field program – Nov 2007 Data Collection Cruises – Nov 2007 forward Applications of data by participants Documentation and reporting

4 Samples: One-liter water samples at surface, 1m, & 2m at ~30 locations analyzed for: DOC, PC, TSS, Chloro-a Vertical Profiles: light extinction, temp, DO, conductivity, & turbidity Cruises Monthly since 11/07 Cruises
