Processed Continuous Resistivity Profiles from Cape Cod National Seashore, Feb. 28, 2006

Continuous resistivity profiling (CRP) surveys were conducted at Cape Cod National Seashore in 2004 and 2006 in order to test hypotheses about groundwater flow under and into estuaries and the Atlantic Ocean. Coastal resource managers here and elsewhere are concerned about nutrients that are entering coastal waters via submarine groundwater discharge, which are contributing to eutrophication and harmful algal blooms. CRP is used to measure electrical resistivity of sediments, a property that is sensitive to differences in salinity of submarine ground water. The 2004 and 2006 surveys used floating resistivity streamers of 100 m and 50 m respectively. The depth penetration of the streamers is approximately 20% of the streamer length which translates to approximately 20-25 m with the 100 m streamer and 12-14 m with the 50 m streamer. These data were processed using AGI's EarthImager 2D software.

连续电阻率剖面（Continuous Resistivity Profiling，CRP）测量于2004年与2006年在科德角国家海岸开展，旨在验证关于河口及大西洋下方与周边地下水流的相关假说。当地及全球其他区域的海岸资源管理者均关注通过海底地下水排放进入近岸海域的营养盐，此类营养盐会引发水体富营养化与有害藻华。该方法可用于测量沉积物的电阻率，而电阻率对海底地下水的盐度差异具有敏感性。2004年与2006年的调查分别使用了长度为100米与50米的漂浮式电阻率拖缆。该拖缆的探测深度约为其自身长度的20%，即100米拖缆的探测深度约为20至25米，50米拖缆则约为12至14米。本次数据集采用AGI公司的EarthImager 2D软件进行处理。
