Phytoplankton Ecology of Hilo Bay
The goals of this research include describing the environmental controls on Hilo Bay phytoplankton dynamics and establishing a long-term continuous monitoring program in Hilo Bay and is supported in part by the NSF through a UH Hilo REAP award.
High-speed surface mapping of
In this method, we are using a YSI 6600 V2-4 datasonde
equipped various sensors (Chl a and phycoerythrin fluorescence, salinity, temperature, dissolved
oxygen, turbidity and pH) to sample
water while travelling at 20 knots in a small boat. GPS coordinates are
simultaneously recorded with the data every 3 seconds to allow mapping of the
data in order to examine spatial distribution of water quality parameters in
Real-time continuous monitoring of
A
YSI EMM 67 buoy was deployed in Hilo Bay on March 9, 2009. This buoy will collect continuous measurements of
phytoplankton abundance and water quality parameters. These data will be used to
study the way in which
