An almost cloudless day, conditions were optimal for conducting radiometric measurements of the color of the water and linking to water quality state.

Joining the fieldwork was a new undergraduate intern Andrew, funded as part of the NOAA CESSRST REU program.
This time, the team started farther west in Flanders Bay near the mouth of the Peconic River, in hopes of capturing the influence of freshwater inputs of dissolved carbon and particulate matter into the Peconic Bay. |
