Pore water studies reef flat sediments, Kaneohe Bay, Oahu, HI (NODC Accession 0000271)
Description
Geochemical behavior of the upper 70 cm of permeable reef flat sediments on Checker Reef, Oahu, Hawaii was examined using spatial and temporal changes in pore water dissolved oxygen, nitrate, nitrite, ammonium, and nitrous oxide. This patch reef was monitored immediately following significant wave events (storm events) between October 1996 and July 1997 to study the hydraulic control of pore water geochemistry within the oxic-suboxic zone of a permeable sediment.
