Abstract:	Measurement of water column parameters were taken at 20 minute intervals in two locations within West Falmouth Harbor (West Falmouth, MA, USA), one in the well-flushed outer basin and one in the inner basin closer to the dominant groundwater N source. The goal of this dataset is to compare conditions at the two sites, as well as to derive rates of metabolism. Parameters measured include temperature, specific conducitity, salinity, dissolved oxygen, chlorophyll, and pH. YSI Datasondes were deployed during 4 periods ranging from 6 to 11 days in July and August, suspended vertically from a surface buoy. Over all deployments, instruments passed all QA checks, and average differences between the two instruments over all deployments were less than 0.06 degrees C (temperature), 0.3 (salinity), 0.05 (pH), 1.0 ug/L (chlorophyll), 1.5 (%DO Saturation). Data provided here are not corrected for drift, and chlorophyll data are uncorrected as reported by the instruments. Chlorophyll reported is uncorrected from the YSI calculation based on in-situ fluorescence and calibration with a single-point using deionized water. Lab fluorometric checks show that the YSI chlorophyll is over-reporting by approximately 20% at low concentrations, and high concentrations were not able to be validated.

Description:

Mooring Deployment

Each spring, seasonal temporary moorings are deloyed at the two deployment locations. Each consists of a weight, line with tygon tubing, and surface float.

Description:	Datasonde prep and calibration At the beginning of the season, probes were wrapped in copper tape. Before each deployment, sensors were calibrated using YSI standard methodology.
Instrument(s):	YSI 6600 Series Sondes

Description:

Datasonde deployment

Datasondes were deployed together on one mooring at the beginning and end of each deployment interval for between 6 hours and 2 days to provide QA data for comparisons between instruments. For remainder of interval, each datasonde was deployed on its separate mooring.

Abstract:

The West Falmouth Harbor LTREB site is an integrated research, education, and outreach program led by the Howarth-Marino Research Lab at Cornell University. Since 2005, the goal of this program has been to understand the response of a shallow coastal ecosystem to high nitrogen inputs from an aquifer contaminated with sewage effluent, and examine recovery as this high N input decreases. This rare whole-ecosystem “experiment” allows us to look at the impact of a single nutrient, nitrogen, with no change in P inputs, and to assess the effects of nitrogen fertilization on whole ecosystem biogeochemical cycling, carbon sequestration, ecosystem metabolism, and seagrass habitat health.

Description:

The West Falmouth Harbor LTREB site is located on Cape Cod in eastern Massachusetts. It is a shallow, tidally dominated estuary that exchanges water with the adjacent coastal waters of Buzzards Bay. Freshwater input to the harbor is almost entirely from groundwater flow and precipitation. The groundwater aquifer is impacted by a wastewater treatment facility approximately 1.5 km upgradient that was upgraded with nitrogen removal technology in 2005.
