Water Quality In Chesapeake Bay : Virginia Portion, Water Year 1990 : A Report To The Virginia Water Control Board, Kevin Curling, Bruce Neilson Oct 1991

Water Quality In Chesapeake Bay : Virginia Portion, Water Year 1990 : A Report To The Virginia Water Control Board, Kevin Curling, Bruce Neilson

Reports

The purpose of this report is to characterize water quality conditions during the 1990 water year, October 1989 through September 1990. For the most part, the information is provided in graphical format. Only data for the Virginia portion of Chesapeake Bay is included. No data analysis or interpretation is included, since this is the stated purpose of a number of other reports. This report will be useful to both scientists and managers who need ready access to some portion of the data on a regular basis. With this report it is possible to quickly examine seasonal patterns, compare conditions at …

Water Quality In Chesapeake Bay : Virginia Portion, Water Year 1985 : A Report To The Virginia Water Control Board, Kevin Curling, Bruce Neilson

Reports

The purpose of this report is to characterize water quality conditions during the 1985 water year, October 1984 through September 1985. For the most part, the information is provided in graphical format. Only data for the Virginia portion of Chesapeake Bay is included. No data analysis or interpretation is included, since this is the stated purpose of a number of other reports. We believe that the report will be useful to both scientists and managers who need ready access to some portion of the data on a regular basis. With this report one could, for example, quickly examine seasonal patterns, …

Data Report : Hypoxia In The York River, 1988-1989, G. M. Sisson, A. Y. Kuo, J. M. Brubaker Jan 1991

Data Report : Hypoxia In The York River, 1988-1989, G. M. Sisson, A. Y. Kuo, J. M. Brubaker

Reports

As part of the hypoxia program of the Virginia Chesapeake Bay Initiatives, the Division of Physical Oceanography of the Virginia Institute of Marine Science (VIMS) conducted a series of measurements in the York River estuary. The measurements were made in summer, 1988 and 1989. Two types of measurements were conducted in each year: measurements at moored stations and measurements by slackwater surveys. The former collected data for investigation of dissolved oxygen (DO) variation, and associated physical parameters, in an intratidal time scale, as well as for studying the vertical distributions of the measured parameters. The latter collected data for spatial …


Procedure For Creating Digital Baylor Coverages In Arc/Info, Gary F. Anderson, J. Berchman Smithson, Anna K. Kenne Jan 1991

Procedure For Creating Digital Baylor Coverages In Arc/Info, Gary F. Anderson, J. Berchman Smithson, Anna K. Kenne

Reports

Baylor Grounds were defined by a survey of the natural oyster beds in Virginia conducted by Lt. J.B. Baylor, USN, and completed in 1894. The original purpose of the survey was to set aside naturally productive oyster beds for protection from private leasing, which was a controversial concept at the time. Hence the commonly used term 'Baylor Grounds' is synonymous with Virginia's public oystering grounds in the present day. Other surveys, conducted later, have added to the original Baylor acreage, resulting in an estimated 243, 000 acres of public oyster grounds in Virginia. For further information on the oyster industry …


Analysis Of Mixing And Dilution Of Process Water Discharged Into The Pamunkey River, John M. Hamrick Jan 1991

Analysis Of Mixing And Dilution Of Process Water Discharged Into The Pamunkey River, John M. Hamrick

Reports

This report describes and documents an analysis of the m1xmg and dilution· of the Chesapeake Corporation's process water discharge into the Pamunkey River at West Point, Virginia. The analysis involves the application of the Virginia Institute of Marine Science's three dimensional environmental fluid dynamics computer code, EFDC, to model the combined York, Pamunkey and Mattaponi Rivers. Following a large scale tidal calibration, the model's ability to predict the mixing of discharges into the river system is verified by the simulation of a field dye release study. The model is then used to predict mixing and dilution of the Chesapeake Corporation's …
