Oceanographic and Water-Quality Measurements in Rachel Carson National Wildlife Refuge, Wells, Maine

This web page provides access to oceanographic, meteorological, and water-quality observations made at four locations in Rachel Carson National Wildlife Refuge in Wells, Maine. The objective was to characterize the sediment-transport mechanisms that contribute to the sediment budget of the wetland complex along the Oguinquit River. A meteorological tower, temperature and conductivity sensors, optical turbidity sensors and acoustic velocity meters were deployed at sites on Stephens Brook and the Ogunquit River between March 27 and December 9, 2013.
