The VIMS data buoy provides real-time data including air and water temperature, water salinity, chlorophyll, dissolved oxygen, turbidity, and water current and wave information for the York River at Gloucester Point, Virginia. The buoy is one piece of a long-term project to provide real-time data for accurate predictions of ecosystem processes in Lower Chesapeake Bay.

This
hands-on
activity
shows
students
what
happens
when
the
fresh
water
of
a
river
meets
the
salt
water
of
the
ocean.
They
will
make
a
saturated
solution
of
colored
salt
water,
pour
it
into
fresh
water,
and
observe
what
happens.
There
are
also
extensions
to
the
activity
in
which
they
add
a
third
layer
of
water
of
intermediate
salinity,
and
test
two
solutions
by
floating
a
pencil
in
them.
There

This
activity
will
help
students
to
understand
that
ocean
water
is
sampled
for
chemicals
and
organisms.
The
sampling
device
must
gather
enough
water
for
conducting
all
the
tests,
the
depth
at
which
the
sample
was
gathered
must
be
accurately
known,
the
temperature
at
time
of
collection
must
be
known,
and
it
must
not
allow
contaminants
to
enter
as
it
is
being
brought
up
on
deck.

This
site
contains
information
about
snow,
glaciers,
permafrost,
sea
ice
and
cryospheric
trends.
The
cryosphere
is
the
portion
of
the
Earth's
surface
where
water
is
in
a
solid
form,
usually
snow
or
ice.
Seasonal
snow
cover,
the
largest
component
of
the
cryosphere,
covers
up
to
33
percent
of
the
Earth's
total
land
surface.
Glaciers
and
ice
sheets
cover
about
10
percent
of
the

to
handle
heavy
equipment
and
