Samples collected • 2008 • 3 monthly surveys (May, July, Sept) • 10 inner bay, 3 outer bay stations • 5 Master stations (surface and bottom) • 2009 • 6 monthly surveys (May – Oct) • 10 inner bay, 3 outer bay stations, 2 water intakes • 5 Master stations (surface and bottom) • 2010 • 6 monthly surveys (May – Oct) • 10 inner bay, 1 outer bay stations, 2 water intakes • 5 Master stations (surface and bottom)
Sampling stations Blue: Master (5) Red: Basic (8) Water utility intakes
Parameters measured • Physical • CTD: temperature, conductivity, PAR, transmittance, DO • Secchi depth • Chemical • total P, SRP, TDP, particulate CN, DOC, NO3, NH4, SiO2, Cl • TSS, VSS • Phytoplankton • chla • phytoplankton cell counts • phytoplankton groups for algal pigments (HPLC) • Microcystis and microcystin (master stations and water intakes) • Zooplankton and microzooplankton • vertical tows w/ 64 um net (master stations) • oblique tows for larger bodied zooplankton (master stations) • whole samples in lugols and formalin (to Peter Lavrentyev)
Status of sample processing • Physical • CTD (temp, PAR, DO, Chl and PC fluorescence) – downloaded • Secchi depth - logged • Chemical • total P, SRP, TDP, NO3, NH4, SiO2, Cl – 2008, 2009, 2010 • particulate CN - 2008, 2009 (2010 in process) • DOC – 2008, 2009, 2010 • TSS, VSS – 2009, 2010 • Phytoplankton • chla - 2008, 2009, 2010 • phytoplankton cell counts – 2008, 2010 (2009 likely not available) • phytoplankton groups for algal pigments (HPLC) – not done • Microcystis and microcystin – (2010 in process) • Zooplankton and microzooplankton • vertical tows w/ 64 um net (master stations) – 2009 (2010 in process) • oblique tows for larger bodied zooplankton (master stations) • whole samples in lugols and formalin (to Peter Lavrentyev)
