The Effect of Tropical Storm Agnes as Reflected in Chlorophyll A and Heterotrophic Potential of the Lower Chesapeake Bay

A hydrographic station (Station Y) at the mouth of the York River (37°14.6\u27N, 76°23.4\u27W) was under biological surveillance for one year prior to the arrival of Tropical Storm Agnes. For one full year following this storm, these measurements were continued. In addition, the chlorophyll a and heterotrophic potential measurements were incorporated into an ongoing zooplankton sampling program of the lower Chesapeake Bay below 37°40\u27N latitude.https://scholarworks.wm.edu/vimsbooks/1071/thumbnail.jp

Plant geography and water quality data for Chesapeake Bay waters of Virginia\u27s Eastern Shore

Plant geography and water quality data were collected in shallow water near Cape Charles and Occohannock Creek, Virginia on two occasions. Data from April, 1978 included hydrography, distribution and abundance of -submerged aquatic vegetation, phytoplankton census, and water clarity data. Data from May, 1978 included hydrography, phytoplankton census, water clarity, and primary productivity data. The May data collection was coincident with an overflight of the NASA JSC C-130 aircraft (6600 m) acquiring color infrared photography and multispectral scanner data; cell concentrations reached 105/ml, chlorophyll~ 72 pg/1, and suspended sediment 94 mg/1.
