Organization(s): USGS, Woods Hole Coastal and Marine Science Center
Funding Program(s): Massachusetts Integrated Coastal Studies (LQ00M0Z)
Principal Investigator(s): John Warner
Affiliate Investigator(s):
Information Specialist(s): Steven Suttles
Data Type(s): Sampling: Geology, Time Series: Mooring (physical oceanography)
Scientific Purpose/Goals: Recovery of instruments to collect data to assess cross-shore sediment transport prediction techniques being implemented in coastal modeling efforts for wave dominated sandy coast. Measurements will focus on waves, wave induced water velocities near the seabed, and the response of the seabed to these forces.
Vehicle(s):
Start Port/Location: WHOI Dock, Woods Hole, MA
End Port/Location: WHOI Dock, Woods Hole, MA
Start Date: 2021-04-07
End Date: 2021-04-09
Equipment Used: Grab sampler, Bottom platform
Information to be Derived: waves, currents, water level, seabed images (sonar), seabed changes, suspended sediment, water temperature, conductivity, grain size of bottom sediment.
