Input: SeaWiFS dataset from NASA Ocean Biology Distributed Active Archive Center (OB.DAAC - http://oceancolor.gsfc.nasa.gov/cms/ ), Level 2 granule found through http://oceancolor.gsfc.nasa.gov/cgi/browse.pl with Search Criteria shown below: - Time Period: Thursday, 23 September 1999 (daytime) - Sensors: SeaWiFS - SeaWiFS Data Types: MLAC - Area of Interest: region bounded by 40.2N and 38.5N and 70.8W and 69.0W Rearranged the satellite image and two graphs. Subset was extracted to cover the area of interest (Pamlico Sound) and geometrically corrected

This activity resulted in the following :

• figure 8.2: The Aftermath of Hurricanes was derived from Phytoplankton Photopigments as Indicators of Estuarine and Coastal Eutrophication

Notes : The image is used only to illustrate the inundation by flood waters. The graphs derived from measurements at a reference station show the quantitative results.
