Code for Days: A CMOP Experience

05/08/2015 Day 1

Goal: define direction: I spook with Dr. Peterson today and she gave me and my partner a direction to go in. There is this relatively new idea that at low levels of water flow the M.major is able to grow and then cause a large bloom. Dr. Peterson told us that looking at cell counts in the water, there is a sudden and very dramatic increase at a certain level of outflow. She said it would be helpful if Bailey and I could put some stats behind this idea and give it a little more meat. So I think I will look into this and make it my primary goal. We were also give a paper by W. Rockwell Geyer and Parker MacCready about estuary circulation. So will be spending some time reading that and preparing for W. Rockwell Geyer to visit.

Review code

End off day: This paper was crazy dense and I definitely did not understand most of it, but it gave me some cool ideas. Tomorrow I would like to look at the data explorer.
