SoundHAB: Eyes on Puget Sound (alternative flight routes due to fog)

[Krembs, Christopher (ECY)]

Please find the latest observations on current surface conditions in
Puget Sound from October 19 (North Puget Sound) and October 20 (Central
Puget Sound). The flights were conducted by my colleagues Julia Boss and
Mya Keyzers. There is a large bloom in Sinclair Inlet

We normally use our routine commute flight between Kenmore Airbase and
Olympia to document current marine water conditions by camera. However,
October has been challenging due to fog. We therefore chose alternative
routes and report on observations that we made while en route between
core sampling station. We hope that the next month will be more
predictable.

 

Observations are limited to algae blooms:

 

With best regards,
