Chesapeake Bay Fluorescence Monitoring Database

Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR

This document will describe in detail the components of structure for the Fluorescence Monitoring Database.

Description

While this document is not intended to provide a complete discussion of the concepts of a relational database, it is intended to provide the CBPO to provider basic documentation of the database design. This Database was designed to hold fluorescence monitoring data.

The state of Maryland and Virginia, in cooperation with the US EPA Chesapeake Bay Program, has used in vivo fluorescence to measure horizontal and vertical profiles of chlorophyll a between fixed monitoring stations in the Chesapeake Bay mainstem. A program measuring fluorescence in the Maryland mainstem and tidal tributaries has been in place since August 1984. A horizontal transect program from the during the months of April-September began in the Potomac estuary in August 1990.

The state of Virginia, began a similar fluorescence monitoring program in the Virginia Chesapeake Bay mainstem in January 1991. The program is designed to give comprehensive spatial and temporal information on phytoplankton. Sampling is performed in conjunction with the Maryland phytoplankton, zooplankton and water quality monitoring programs.
