·         The goal of the documentation is to provide timely and spatially nested information on the occurrence of visible surface features in Puget Sound.

 

Ecology's marine monitoring unit conducts the observations on a monthly basis. We use our routine commute flight between Kenmore Airbase and Olympia to document current marine water conditions by camera and supplement the information with satellite images and en route ferry data between Seattle WA  and Victoria  BC.  Due to weather, we focus in the April 2011 report on satellite images and en route ferry data.

 

Content:

 

1.       Personal impressions by our flyer

2.       Aerial photos and observations between Seattle and Olympia

3.       En route collected data from the Victoria Clipper data running daily between Seattle and Victoria

4.       Satellite pictures supporting in situ data

5.       Mooring data in South Sound, Manchester, Possession Sound/ Mukilteo

 

We hope the images are inspiring and informative.

 

We are always looking for constructive feedback to improve our products.

 

With best regards,

 

Christopher
