Abstract:

In situ water column profiles of particle size distribution and volume concentration collected with a Laser In-Situ Scattering and Transmissometry 100-X. Samples were collected from the Mobile Bay river plume 2016-03-22 to 2016-04-19.

Purpose:

Particle size distribution was obtained in support of the CONsortium for oil spill exposure pathways in COastal River-Dominated Ecosystems (CONCORDE) research effort to characterize the physical fields influenced by pulsed river discharge.
