Oceanographic Observations made adjacent to the Chandeleur Islands, Louisiana, July-November, 2010.

A program to measure waves, water levels, and currents near the Chandeleur Islands, Louisiana and adjacent berm construction site was conducted by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) during Summer and Autumn 2010. The Chandeleur Islands have been the subject of ongoing USGS studies of coastal erosion and land loss. The berm was being constructed by the State of Louisiana in response to the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. The oceanographic measurements accompany USGS observations of geomorphic response to storms of the berm and Chandeleur Islands.

2010年夏秋季节，美国地质调查局（U.S. Geological Survey, USGS）针对路易斯安那州尚德利尔群岛（Chandeleur Islands）及其邻近护堤（berm）施工现场开展了波浪、水位与海流综合观测项目。尚德利尔群岛长期以来都是USGS开展海岸侵蚀与土地流失研究的核心观测对象。该护堤由路易斯安那州政府牵头修建，用于应对“深水地平线”钻井平台漏油事故所带来的影响。本次海洋学观测数据将配套用于USGS对护堤及尚德利尔群岛在风暴作用下的地貌响应开展的相关观测研究。如需获取更多详细信息，请访问以下链接：http://woodshole.er.usgs.gov/operations/ia/public_ds_info.php?fa=10055、http://woodshole.er.usgs.gov/operations/ia/public_ds_info.php?fa=10069、http://woodshole.er.usgs.gov/operations/ia/public_ds_info.php?fa=10092。
