  1. Stony Brook University School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences http://po.msrc.sunysb.edu/GSB

  2. Great South Bay Observatory Funded by New York Department of State

  3. Sensors deployed at the Bellport marina since 2004 Sea Bird Electronics “SeaCat”, SBE 16 and SBE 16Plus Temperature and salinity Temperature, salinity, sea Level, chlorophyll and turbidity

  4. April 9, 2005 C. Flagg

  5. November 3, 2012 ~0900 EDT (~1300 GMT) C. Flagg and R. Giannotti

  6. March 13, 2010 Hank Maust

  7. Pre-inlet responses of the ocean and eastern bay to strong winds Low salinity river waters enter the bay High waves can over-top the dunes mean water level Waves scour the beach Bay waters flow up river

  8. After the passage of Hurricane Irene, Aug. 28, 2011, ~1030 EDT C. Flagg

  9. Pre-inlet responses of the ocean and eastern bay to strong winds Low salinity river waters enter the bay High waves can over-top the dunes mean water level Waves scour the beach Bay waters flow up river

  10. Hurricane Sandy at Bellport Barometric Pressure Wind Speed North West Wind Direction South East North

  11. Hurricane Sandy at Bellport Wind Speed Water level Water level with Tides removed Salinity Normal range

  12. Hurricane Sandy at Bellport

  17. Different responses of the Bay to west winds pre and post inlet Inlet Water level, Tide removed Wind Speed Wind Direction

  18. Post-inlet responses of the ocean and eastern bay to strong winds

  19. Pre Inlet Post Inlet

  20. Salient Points Bellport Bay's tidal range and phase have not been affected Response of the Bellport Bay to strong winds has been reversed but not necessarily increased in magnitude Water properties, ie salinity, have been altered and are more ocean-like due the increased exchange with the ocean
