| Field location and housing |
 Here are the houses that the MeRMADE team stays in while on the experiment.  While also being more economical than hotel rooms for the 20+ people expected to show up, the location offers an amazing view of the study area. Every morning it is possible to watch the plume front travel by the house, while the team makes plans about how best to sample it.
From the upper deck, the jetties at the Merrimack River estuary mouth can be seen to the north (photo at bottom of page - the ocean view with the beach on the left). The fresh water plume coming out of the jetties is just visible off the jetty—it looks like a swath of smooth water.
The view to the south (photo to left - with the beach on the right) offers a good view all the way to Cape Ann. Thus, the team can see the whole study area from the front porch of the living quarters.
