In this project, P.I.'s will analyze data from a field program called MECCAS (Microbial Exchanges and Coupling in Coastal Atlantic Systems. Objectives of the experiment were to determine the dynamics that control the motion of low-salinity water discharged onto the shelf, and to examine both variability of the nutrient-plankton-microbe connection within the plume and its relationship to physical forcing. Measurements were made over the continental shelf in the vicinity of the outflow from the Chesapeake Bay. In addition to analysis of the physical oceanographic data, substantial interdisciplinary work will integrate these data with the results obtained by the biologists involved.

在这个项目中，P.I.的将分析来自字段的数据 MECCAS（微生物交换和耦合） 大西洋沿岸系统。 实验的目的是 确定控制低盐度运动的动力学 水排放到架子上，并检查两者 内的营养物-浮游生物-微生物联系的可变性 羽流及其与物理强迫的关系。 在大陆架上进行了测量， 在切萨皮克湾的流出处附近。 此外 分析物理海洋学数据， 跨学科的工作将把这些数据与 相关生物学家获得的结果。
