Equipment Used
tripod
ADP
opticalbackscattersensor
wavepressure
ADV
CTmeter
Purpose
Collect in situ measurements of currents, waves and suspended sediment
in coral reef environments using tripod mounted instrument packages to assist in
determining physical constraints on coral distribution.
Information to be Derived
Current speed and direction, suspended sediment concentration, salinity, wave height and period.
Summary
Maui instrument tripod and mini-probe will be recovered from location
using the vessel Alyce C. Data from the previous deployment will be downloaded
and the instruments will be refurbished at the Maui Ocean Center. The
instruments will be redeployed at the same locations for further measurements.
