Interactive Chesapeake Bay Simulation

Scientists use sophisticated numerical models to study ocean circulation and other physical systems, but the complex nature of such simulation software generally make them inaccessible to non-expert users. In principle, however, numerical models represent an ideal teaching tool, allowing users to model the response of a complex system to changing conditions. We have designed an interactive simu...

Chesapeake bay: a second look.

Incidence of Vibrio parahaemolyticus in Chesapeake Bay.

A Bay-wide survey of the distribution of Vibrio parahaemolyticus was carried out in Chesapeake Bay during May 1972, to determine whether the annual cycle of V. parahaemolyticus which was observed to occur in the Rhode River subestuary of Chesapeake Bay took place in other parts of Chesapeake Bay. In an earlier study, April to early June, when the water temperature rises from 14 to 19 C, was fou...

Aliphatic amines in Chesapeake Bay sediments

Aliphatic amines were determined in sediments and sediment pore waters from several contrasting sites in Chesapeake Bay. The aliphatic amines diethylamine, set-butylamine, n-propylamine, and i-propylamine were detected in a limited number of pore-water samples at concentrations generally less than 0.6 /IM. The occurrence of these amines showed no obvious correlation to other sediment geochemica...
