scientific hypothesis:**

In the early phases of the eMOLT project, we had hoped to track the
migration of water-mass advection along the coast by monitoring both
temperature and salinity on lobster traps. While the temperature project
was very successful and still exists today, monitoring salinity was not
as easy. The combination of fine grain sediments fouling the
conductivity sensors and the difficulty in obtaining calibration samples
proved this phase of the study not practical given the allocated
resources. An alternative strategy was developed in phase IV to measure
transport more directly with the use of satellite-tracked drifters. This
proved to be the most suceesful phase. So, while the approach to the
science has evolved over the years, the scientific agenda holds steady.

The eMOLT project continues to involve lobstermen in collecting physical
oceanographic data. Taken directly from previous annual reports:  \"by
monitoring the temperature and salinity at dozens of fixed sites around
the Gulf of Maine region, we hope to quantify the scales of
variability.  One of the long-term scientific goals is to distinguish
between advective and locally driven events that influence the bottom
water conditions.  Given multiple time series along the coast and within
different basins, we expect to track the influx and transport of remote
source waters\". 

Now that we have nearly completed the phase IV study,  the drifters
deployed thus far have logged well over 50,000 kilometers of ocean.
These gulf-wide surface-current observations have documented the degree
of transport between basins and illustrate the dynamic exchange of water
masses.  While they do not provide evidence for processes occurring in
the deep basins, they clearly demonstrate the potential redistribution
of particles near the seasurface.   The tracks do not resolve all the
complexity of the circulation throughout the gulf but they do provide
valuable data to help in evaluating numerical circulation model
simulations. The drifter  data collected in eMOLT phase IV should help
biologist address questions on the physical processes of the  lobster
larval  stage and  recruitment variability. All eMOLT phases were
conducted as pilot studies to demonstrate the concept of lobstermen
collecting physical oceanographic variables.  **Having designed and
tested these low-cost GPS drifters with Northeast Consortium funding in
2004, we subsequently received additional research funding in 2005 (from
both NOAA and the Woods Hole Center for Coastal Ocean and Human Health)
to investigate the transport of zooplankton into and around the Great
South Channel and harmful algal blooms along the coast of Maine,
respectively. So, while our initial objective was to examine the
movement of lobster larvae along the New England coast, we have recently
been able to leverage our NEC experience to help other research parties
in related studies. **Given alternative funding source in the future, we
hope to utilize the sampling protocol and network of observers to take
an active roll in an ongoing \"ocean observing systems\".  The existing
temperature probes purchased with NEC funds will remain activated for as
long as their battery life allows (\~2-3 more years).

Analysis of the multi-year temperature records is ongoing. It is now
possible to generate estimates of seasonal cycles at each location and
therefore calculate "anomalies" relative to this longterm mean. Given
the hourly records however, we have also begun to investigate much
shorter time scale variation. After documenting the large degree of
temperature variation associated with the semidiurnal tide at some
frontal locations, for example, questions have arised concerning the
adult lobsters reaction to this environment. Lobster biologist from
various labs (UNH, Univ. of Virginia, and Lobster Conservancy) have
accessed the eMOLT records for their scientific research on lobster
habitat. **Methods and work plan:**

The approach to data collection has evolved slightly over the years but
remains simple.  Representatives from each of the four major lobstermen
associations are charged with a) distributing equipment/sensors, b)
training the individual lobstermen to  maintain mooring & deployment
logs, and c) compiling logs in electronic form.   These representatives
contact the participants on a near-quarterly basis and review protocols,
the most important of which is maintaining fix sites/depths.  The
temperature sensors are now collected on an annual basis just prior to
the forums when many of the participants gear is out of the water. The
data is downloaded, and the sensors are returned to the individuals. 
The data is then  processed, plotted, archived, posted on the web, and
mailed to each participant.

In the case of the both the salinity and drifter study,  approximately
one participant from each association is charged with deploying the
instruments.  Unlike the simple temperature probes,  these require days
of preparation,  assembly, and sampling effort.  These individuals are
compensated for their time.  **1**

**Work completed to date:**

In the last 12 months, eMOLT operations have progressed on three
fronts: 1) continued bottom-temperature observations, 2) a reevaluation
of bottom-salinity measurements, and 3) surface current observations (ie
drifters). Since the first of these is describe in several previous
reports, we will limit the results presented here to a series of
representative plots (one for each lobsterman association) that depict
the interannual variations. A variety of data presentations are
available to the reader on the temperature results page of
emolt.org.![](media/image1.png){width="6.959027777777778in"

![](media/image2.png){width="6.527083333333334in"
height="6.813194444444444in"}

In the case of all the inshore associations (Figure 1a, 1b, and 1c), the
last few years 2003, 2004, and early 2005, have been consistently colder
than the first few year of eMOLT records. It is important to note,
however, that thedata presented in this series of plots has been
filtered to a "weekly average". The highly-variable hourly record would
hide the interannual signal.

The eMOLT objective is to maintain all 70+ temperature records
distributed along the coast for years to come. To see the general
locations of these sites, readers are invited to visit the "interactive
mapping utility" linked from the temperature results on the "emolt.org"
home page. ![](media/image3.png){width="7.190972222222222in"

The Atlantic Offshore Lobstermen Association fish in a very different
oceanographic regime with very little seasonal cycles to compare. The
variations in bottom temperature at their sites has more to do with the
position of the shelf/slope front position which in turn is affected by
Gulf Stream ring activity. As depicted in Figure 2, there is a great
deal of variability in both space and time. Efforts are under way to
investigate certain events when individuals have reported significantly
changes in their catch that is potentially related to the influx of
various oceanic water masses. The quality of the AOLA data has improved
significantly this past year with the addition of pressure sensors on
probes. Since many of these individuals fish on the shelf edge, it is
often necessary to monitor the depth of the probe as it may vary from
haul to haul. With the discontinued use of the electronic Thistle
loggers that previous provided accurate positions, it was necessary to
install pressure sensors to mark the depth at which the probe falls.

As noted in last year\'s annual report, a reevaluation of the protocol
for measuring bottom salinity was to take place. After many of the
salinty records from Phase II of eMOLT were potentially fouled due to
episodic fouling of the conductivity sensors, the instrumentation was
tested in Quohog Bay in the Fall of 2004. Two of the units (Seabird
Microcats) were secured to a frame (Figure 4) and lowered to the bottom
for a two month deployment in over 20m of water. One of the units was
placed near the top of the frame (approximately 1.2 meter above the
bottom) while the other was located very near the bottom where is would
be if within a trap (0.3 mab). While we were hoping to find better data
from the elevated unit, the results were negative in that both units
recorded a continous decline in conductivity that one gets with a
gradual fouling of the sensor. Both sensors showed very little
biofouling but we suspect that ther may have been some chemical fouling
of the sensors given the site location so close to shore and boat
traffic. Readers interested in the analysis of these records asked to
visit <http://sole.wh.whoi.edu/~jmanning//lob/quohogbay.html>. This
project was conducted in collaboration with Ed Laine, professor of
marine geology at Bowdoin College who is interested in the potential
existence of "submarine freshwater discharges" in this area. Plans are
now underway to conduct additional experiments with these sensors such
as installing them on Nantucket Sound fish weirs. This is a
collaboration of Chatham fishermen and scientist from the Provincetown
Center for Coastal
Studies.![](media/image5.jpeg){width="3.997916666666667in"

Finally, most of the eMOLT effort in the past 12 months was directed at
development, deployment, and processing of satellite-tracked drifters.
The NEC-funded project was completed as planned in 2004 and was
essentially repeated with with other funding, as mentioned above, in
April and May 2005. The figure below depicts the volume of tracks now
available from the student-built eMOLT drifters.

2 The Southern Maine Community College students have successfully built
the drifters needed for these deployments as well as additional drifters
for other projects.  The most significant update on this effort is their
recent design and construction of holy-sock drogues in 2005. Nine of
these units were deployed in the Bay of Fundy by the Woods Hole
Oceanographic Institute to study red tide advection. At the time of this
writing one is located off the NH coast and still transmitting.
According to a fishermen\'s phone call yesterday, it still had it
drogue. This drogued unit and many of the surface units will help
diagnos one of the most severe red tide episodes on ever recorded in New
England. Clam flats will be closed for weeks all along the coast of
Southern New England.

Finally, one of the most exciting developments is the eMOLT
collaboration with LFA34 lobstermen from the southwest corner of Nova
Scotia.  After a number of  gatherings this past spring (forums, FSRS
meetings, \"town meeting\", etc),  LFA 34 lobstermen are interested and
willing to participating in the eMOLT drifter study.  We mailed one of
the lobstermen, Ashton Spinney, an eMOLT drifter and he deployed it in
July 2004. The track of that drifter is plotted in Figure 7. While we do
not expect to resolve the Northeastern Gulf of Maine coastal current
system  with any statistical confidence with one or two drifters,   we 
have, at least, fostered a relationship with our fellow fishermen on the
opposite side of the gulf.

Before presenting the results of the drifter studies, it is worth noting
the continued success of the phase I temperature project. As noted in
Table 1 above, the data base is growing steadily. There are now well
over a million records with several locations having three years of
data. These time series are demonstrating a large degree of interannual
variability. Where 2001 appeared to be a "normal" year, 2002 was warm,
and the last few years 2003 and 2004 were colder than normal. This
general result stands out in the Figure 3, for example, at many sites.
Note that the seasonal cycles do not always follow a clean sinusoidal
function. The temperatures at the bottom of Mass Bay, (Kandrick &
Oehme's for example) document a stable summertime period followed by a
rapid warming in the fall. Alex Brown's data from the eastern side of
Mass Bay demonstrates the variability due to upwelling and downwelling.
We look forward to adding more lines to these plots in the years to come
and to be involved with modeling activity that attempts to simulate
these observations. The results of the salinity project can be found in
a separate document, the final report on phase II to be completed in
mid-August 2004. See emolt.org "Updates/Reports" page.

3 A question  often heard in the lobster science world is: \"How are
larvae transported in the surface waters along the coast and what
processes regulate their fate?\"\
The first deployment of drifters in June 2004 has already demonstrated
the potential for advection along the Maine coast.  While there is some
debate on how well these standard surface drifters follow the water
parcels (ie affected by the wind),  there can be no doubt that they are
caught up in a very  fast coastal current system that is capable of
moving larvae half the length of the state in little more than a week's
time.

 

4 The wind obviously governs the paths variance & irregularity of this
flow, but the dominant forcing is evidently associated with a classical
coastal current system.  The fact that the Maine Coastal Current system
is affected  by episodes of river input and upwelling/downwelling has
been known for decades. But, thanks a team of lobstermen located all
along the coast, this month's deployments provide an unprecedented
synoptic picture of the entire system.  Drifter deployments in the past
have been limited to single locations along the coast.  We can now say,
for example, what degree of offshore perturbations occur at different
locations under the influence of a single weather system across the
gulf.   Since the circulation around the Gulf of Maine is very much a
three-dimensional problem,  the ability to observe the deeper layers is
essential.  In  2004, for example,  drogue drifters were deployed
alongside surface drifters to demonstrate the variability of a particles
trajectory dependent on its position in the water column (Figure 5).

5

Given the SMCCeMOLT drifters,  together with the Gulf of Maine Ocean
Observing Systems (GoMOOS) data (mooring and radar installations) and
new highly developed modeling routines, we should be able to reconstruct
the time-varying physical system better than any other period of
investigation.  While the end result may not be very far off from what
Henry Bigelow suggested nearly a century ago, we have documented the
process more completely.

**Impacts and applications:**

There are two approaches to physical oceanographic observations.  One is
to charter a research vessel for a certain period of time (typically a
few weeks per year) with a particular process to test.  This approach is
usually conducted in a particular area of the ocean with set of
equipment that is specially designed to observe a particular
phenomenon.  The second approach, recently becoming more popular with
NOAA\'s ocean observing system, is to deploy a set of  less
sophisticated,  less costly equipment over a larger span of the ocean
for a longer period of time in hopes of documenting the process of
interest in a large-scale long-term sense.  The eMOLT concept can easily
fit into the ocean observing system.\
 

One of primary end uses of the data is the local ocean circulation
modeling community.  In order to initialize and validate numerical
simulations of the Gulf of Maine circulation features, data is needed. 
For example,  Jim Churchill, an investigator from the Woods Hole
Oceanographic Institution,  has ordered a set of "Rachel" drifters to
deploy in the Sheepscot River Estuary in mid-July 2004.  He has
developed a circulation model for the area near the Maine Yankee Nuclear
Power Plant  outfall over the past few years and is now interested in
evaluating his simulations with real observations. Dr. Huijie Xue  and
students (U Maine Orono)  have used eMOLT drifter tracks to test and
evaluate the runs she has conducted on the Gulf of Maine using the
Princeton Ocean Circulation Model.  Dr. Dan Lynch (Dartmouth College)
has had a planning letter accepted by the Office of Naval Research
entitled \"Forecast and Assimilation of Lagrangian Variables\" which
includes three months per year of  Manning\'s time for the next three
years.  If the proposal is accepted, the eMOLT drifter data will be the
primary data used in this \$500K+ comparison of modeled and observed
flow fields.   A proposal to the Gulf of Maine modeling community will
be presented at the Regional Association for Research in the Gulf of
Maine (RARGOM) in the GOM workshop on 15 July in Boston, to make use of
eMOLT drifter tracks in testing and evaluating various models.

While there have been a series of moored and drifter observations
collected in various parts of the gulf in the past,  the eMOLT drifter
data is now providing observations in areas  never resolved before. 
Statistics on such parameters as tidal flow amplitudes and wind-current
gain factors can be obtained from the data collected already.  As
depicted in Figure 6, for example,  the tidal velocities encountered
near the start of Nick Lemeiux\'s deployment off Cutler, Maine are
significantly reduced  a few days into the excursion down the coast.

**Related projects:**

As noted in several previous eMOLT documents,  the eMOLT project has
greatly benefited from collaboration with many other projects.  Some of
the partnerships we continue to foster are listed at
http://www.nefsc.noaa.gov/\~jmanning/lob/fishmeet.htm .  In order to
pass the word to mariners on the logistics of our drifter project, an
extensive outreach effort was conducted in early 2004.  eMOLT
representatives went on the road to attend dozens of meetings and gave
presentations.  Of the organizations listed,  those that we have had the
closest connections with are the Gulf of Maine Ocean Observing System
(GoMOOS) and the Marine Emergency Response to Harmful Algal Blooms
(MERHAB).

The GoMOOS connection is natural.  We hope to act as a supplementary
data source for the Ocean Observing System they have developed for the
Gulf of Maine. They have been gracious in helping us serve temperature
and salinity data on the web through their professional postings.  They
have developed a website where users can click on lobster zones, select
eMOLT sites, and view time series plots.  The objective in the next few
years is to extend this capability north and south of the current region
to include both the Canadian and the Southern New England bottom
temperature data.

Another very productive collaboration has evolved with the MERHAB
project.  In both 2003 and 2004, we were able to deploy prototype
drifters off the R/V OCEANUS during a MERHAB cruise.  This provided a
mutually beneficial situation where a set of eMOLT-funded drifters were
deployed along side MERHAB-funded drifters.  A set of new \"Rachel\"
drifters,  developed by eMOLT, were purchased and deployed by MERHAB in
2004 (see Figure 7).

Figure 7. Results of MERHAB deployment of SMCCeMOLT drifters in May 2004

In some cases,  the commercially-built \"Brightwater\" drifters were
deployed alongside \"Rachel\" drifters in order to compare the
water-following characteristics (ie drag) of each design.   As shown in
Figu**r**e **8**, for example, the new \"Rachel\" design successfully
tracked the path of the traditional \"Brightwater\" model.

**Student participation:**

Approximately a dozen students were involved with the engineering and
production of  the drifters.   A few of the students have become so
involved with the project they have subsequently taken summer
internships (both 2003 and 2004) with the Gulf of Maine Lobster
Foundation.   We expect many more marine science students to be involved
with these \"SMCCeMOLT\" drifters, as they are called,  in the years to
come.   At the time of this writing,  in fact, Dr. Lew Incze is
proposing to have a dozen or more drifters made by SMCC students next
winter.  Since he is interested in tracking the upper few meters of the
water column,  we are discussing the possibility of  altering the
\"Rachel\" drifter to have deeper (taller) sails below the surface. We
might call this new design  the \"Maryann\" or  \"Graham\" drifter.    
The full list of faculty & students involved is listed in [[Appendix
II]{.underline}](http://www.nefsc.noaa.gov/~jmanning/lob/driftcontact_students.html).

The students are also involved with the handling of drifter data.  Tom
Long,  who teaches the Geographic Information System course at SMCC, has
reportedly downloaded the eMOLT drifter data (freely available on the
web) and is incorporating it into his curriculum.  Erin Pelletier, 
involved with educational outreach activity for GOMLF,  is registered to
attend a joint GoMOOS/UNH workshop on the topic and hopes to find ways
to work eMOLT into the educational realm.  Individuals under the
direction of Janet Cambell at the UNH Coastal Ocean Observation and
Analysis program have expressed interest in using eMOLT data in
classroom settings.  There has been some discussion on an
\"adopt-a-drifter\" program.   On top of all this activity is the
one-on-one communication with all the dozens of  individuals who have
sighted a drifter and called in a report.
