| Two
dimensional maps showing directional current velocities (top panel) and
the distribution of dissolved oxygen (bottom panel). Data acquired in real-time with the
XZ-Profiler,
in the Providence River region of Narragansett Bay, RI on August
31, 2000.
Note the presence of hypoxic (low oxygen) bottom waters.
The shipboard ADCP data (RD Instruments)
on directional current velocities can be merged with the underway-chemical
data to estimate directional chemical fluxes.
