Near real-time environmental monitoring in support of Port Everglades dredging projects, Fort Lauderdale, FL (NCEI Accession 0303581)

Description

The system records in-situ water quality data at a depth of 26 feet, including temperature, salinity, turbidity, backscatter, PAR (Photosynthetically Active Radiation), and currents, among other parameters. Additionally, climate data is collected at the surface, which includes wind, pressure, and PAR. This data is continuously gathered from a buoy located in Port Everglades, Florida, covering both the sea surface and the seafloor. The bottom-deployed sensor array is equipped with an Echologger ECT400 altimeter, Aqua TROLL 600 (In Situ), acoustic modem, NexSens data logger, Nortek wave/current meter, an ECO-PAR sensor that measures photosynthetically active radiation–specifically the light levels crucial for photosynthesis, and LISST-ABS acoustic sediment sensor to continuously monitor sediment dynamics. Data collected by the bottom array is logged by a NexSens logger, and then an acoustic modem transfers the data through the water column to the CB-950 data buoy on the surface that is equipped with another NexSens logger and an Airmar multiparameter weather station and LI-COR PAR sensor to measure climate conditions. Data from the surface buoy and the bottom sensor package are transferred to the cloud, where the data can be viewed via WQData LIVE.
