The Corpus Christi Bay Test Bed is an environmental research facility designed to observe, model, and understand hypoxia in Corpus Christi Bay, Texas, with advanced sensing and environmental information systems (EIS). It is one of 10 WATer and Environmental Research Systems (WATERS) Network test bed projects located across the United States and funded by the National Science Foundation. These test beds focus on environmental sensors, deployment of sensor networks, development of new modeling tools, and development of cyberinfrastructure.
The Corpus Christi Bay Test Bed is associated with The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, The University of Texas at Austin, Texas A&M University at College Station, and Texas A&M University at Corpus Christi.
This website presents environmental monitoring data being collected in Corpus Christi Bay. These data are stored in a database that uses the CUAHSI Observations Data Model and are made available via the applications within this website that access this database.
Corpus Christi Bay sensor locations. There are a total of seven sensor networks that are being used to study hypoxia in Corpus Christi Bay. Of the regional data sources, grab data sampling began in 1988 and continuous data sampling began in 1991.
