pressuresensor
opticalbackscattersensor
sizedistributionsensor
vectorADV
VanVeengrab
Purpose
Test interaction of acoustic instruments, test interaction of instruments with tripod, test various sampling schemes, collect previously uncollected data off Santa Cruz Municipal Wharf. National Community Sediment Transport Model.
Information to be Derived
Suspended sediment concentrations, currents, waves, orbital velocities, tides, shear velocities, grain size
Summary
The tripod that is to be used in the spring 2001 Grays Harbor wave refraction
experiment was outfitted with groups of instruments and lowered off the side
of the Santa Cruz Municipal Wharf into the water and data were collected.
after a few sampling periods the tripod was retrieved, data were downloaded
and evaluated, sampling schemes were altered and instruments changed out and
the tripod was deployed again. Ten sampling schemes/ instrument groupings were
tested. Data were collected for longer time periods overnight.
grab samples were taken for instrument calibration and to determine grain size.
Got Help? For M-P1-01-MB, we would appreciate any information on -- analog materials, contract, days at sea, dive count, funding, kms of navigation, national plan, NGDC Info, notes, owner, platform, ports, project number, publications, scanned materials, seismic description, station count, station description, submersible, tabulated info.
