Proposal: Summer 2011 Bloom

Wednesday, October 12th, 2011

These are the figures that our group is creating. These figures will depict the dynamics of the phytoplankton bloom that occurred off the New Jersey coast this past summer (summer 2011). The figures will show the following:

1) Possible causes of the bloom chemicals (runoff)
2) Temp via satellite
3) Currents
4) Chlorophyll levels via satellite, anomaly plots
5) 3D image of the chlorophyll
6) Oxygen levels
7) Zooplankton levels
8) Fisheries-fish levels

The figures will be arranged in a manner that depicts the possible causes of this particular bloom, to how the bloom affected/is affecting the ocean ecosystem.
