Short summary
Hurricane Harvey led to unprecedented rainfall over south central Texas in August/September 2017. We obtained physical and chemical data from the affected offshore area both before and after the hurricane passed. Despite the intense rainfall, the effects on the coastal ocean were apparently only short-lived, and we did not observe major blooms of plankton or inputs of nutrients, possibly because of the sheer volume of rainwater that diluted any runoff.
