Winyah
Bay is a site used by many of USC's oceanographers. |
 |
This
is the R.V. Ferrrel, owned by the National Oceanic
and Atmospheric Administration. It runs out of Charleston,
S.C. and is outfitted for oceanographic research. The Ferrel
carries a complement of three officers, eight crew members,
and up to eight scientists. |

This
is the much smaller boat that we used for conducting cross-channel
transects for about 12 hours per day for two days. On day
1, we sampled upper Winyah Bay near Georgetown; on day 2,
we sampled just north of an island located in the middle of
Winyah Bay. During day 2, we sampled both the main channel
and the intercoastal waterway. |
 |
The
R.V. Ferrrel cruised the main channel of Winyah Bay,
taking physical and chemical samples at selected stations along
the axis of the channel. Stations were sampled 24 hours a day
for approximately 5 days during the first week and 4 days during
the second. |
