Description:Extensive physical oceanographic field surveys were conducted in the East River, Long Island Sound and Block Island Sound from April 1988 through September 1989 and from May through July, 1990. The Long Island Sound Oceanography Project (LISOP) field survey area extended from east of Governors Island, near The Battery, at the south entrance to the East River, through the East River and Long Island Sound to the outer boundaries of Block Island Sound, a distance of approximately 135 nautical miles (217 kilometers). NOAA’s National Ocean Service acquired time-series measurements of current profile, water level, conductivity and temperature, and vertical profiles of conductivity and temperature to establish tidal characteristics and identify densPy driven flow within the LISOP study area to initialize, force, and validate a 3-dimensional numerical circulation model of Long Island Sound.
