Janet Kerlin Kennedy briefing Mount Hope Bay warmer due to Brayton Point power plant discharge Geologist John Mustard and others will brief Rep. Patrick Kennedy on the use of NASA's remote sensing technology in recording higher temperatures in Mount Hope Bay due to discharges from the Brayton Point power plant.
Press are welcome to attend.
The higher temperature affects an area of 13.5 square miles of Mount Hope Bay, which flows into Rhode Island's Narragansett Bay. Mustard and others will discuss the findings and the use of NASA's remote sensing technology to record the temperatures during a briefing for Rep. Patrick Kennedy. Please contact Janet Kerlin at the News Service. From an aircraft or satellite, NASA's remote sensing technology uses reflected heat and light energy to measure temperature, chlorophyll concentration, and water clarity.
