Summary of Activity and Data Gathered: Tested Airmar sensors for upcoming CB Methane cruise. No data that is going to be published was collected. Three sensors were mounted on the davit and tested to see if the sensors agreed with each other. A moving vs. stationary test was also conducted where one sensor was mounted in an anchored dinghy. The sensors did not correct the data properly for boat movement.
